Imperia Porto Maurizio Railway Station
The station was managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI), however, the commercial area of the passenger building was managed by Centostazioni. Train services to and from the station were operated by Trenitalia. Each of these companies is a subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato (FS), Italy's state-owned rail company.
Location
Imperia Porto Maurizio railway station was situated in Piazza Caduti sul Lavoro, near the centre of the city.
Features
The passenger building has two storeys. Only the ground floor was open to the public. The building is made of brick, painted brown, and has nine single-light windows with round arches accompanied by cornices.
The station once had a goods yard with an adjoining goods shed. However, the goods yard had since been dismantled and replaced by a parking lot for RFI and Trenitalia employees, and the goods shed had been converted to storage. The architecture of the former goods shed is very similar to that of other Italian railway stations.
