Cunico-Scandeluzza Station

The plant, originally called Cunico-Colcavagno^[1], was activated as a station on 20 October 1912 by the State Railways, at the same time as the inauguration of the line^[2].

Far from the front of the First World War and little interested also from the events of the second not forming a primary strategic objective, the station suffered from such events only because of the consequent fluctuations of the demand for transport, beginning in the second post-war period a period of constant decline of the proceeds from traffic due to the advent of private motorization and a common orientation no longer favorable to the transport on iron.

The long-established traction of steam thanks to the use of thermal motors, traffic continued to maintain at unsatisfactory levels and in place of service strengthening to conquer new user bands in 1986 the railway was included in a list of "dry rhymes" to be suppressed.^[3], saving itself from the network cuts made in that period after some minor timetable changes aimed at lowering operating costs^[4].

In spite of the investments that have just been made, the hypothesis of cuts in some lines was again ventilated in 1993.^[5] but it was soon the nature to put the first serious obstacle to the continuation of the exercise: the line suffered in fact huge damage during the flood of the Po river in 1994, when almost entirely collapsed the bridge on that river. Restoration jobs^[6] the reconstruction of the bridge on the Po^[7][8]; on 27 August 2000 the reopening of the entire railway line was inaugurated^[9].

In 2001 the management of the line, and with it that of the stop Cunico-Scandeluzza, passed to the newly established Italian Railway Network.

The heavy economic and financial situation of the Region Piemonte He led the same to suspend service contracts on several secondary lines of his own competence, leading in September 2011 to the definitive suspension of the service on Chivasso-Asti^[10]the service contract with Trenitalia for passenger transport has long been renewed.^[11][12][13].

Originally built as a freight station, in 1988 the plant was transformed into a stop enabled to travel and baggage services with restrictions provided for canton boxes^[14].

At the beginning of the 1990s, the entire Piedmontese secondary network was subject to a deep renewal program aimed at reducing operating costs through automation and remote control of plants.^[15]; closed in 1991^[16][17], the Asti-Chivasso was therefore the subject of works^[18][19] which resulted in the elimination of the intersection tracks of Cunico-Scandeluzza; the line was reopened on 19 November 1992^[20].
