Montegrosso Station

Montegrosso station was activated on 18 June 1893, at the opening of the trunk from Asti to Ovada of the Asti-Genova railway.^[1]

The station is equipped with two tracks, divided by a dock to island, at service mainly of the second. Most of the traffic is on the first track, with a correct layout, while the second one is used only in case of any intersections.

The station had a passenger building built on two floors outside the ground: the first one housed an independent apartment for the head office while on the ground floor there were services to travellers, such as the ticket office and waiting room, as well as the movement office. With the automation of the line, which took place in 1991, the plant remained enterprised and the services were suppressed. Since 2017, the municipality has received the entire building in a convenient way and, after carrying out its renovation and standardization work, it has designed the building to host the municipal library from 2018^[2].

Next to the passenger building there is a square-planted building developed on one floor that hosted toilets. It, although interested by renovation in 2018 and therefore in good condition of conservation, is closed and disused.
