Acqui Terme railway station (Italian: Stazione di Acqui Terme) serves the town and comune of Acqui Terme, in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy.
The Acqui Terme station is the railway station of the Acqui Terme. At this stop, the Asti-Genoa railway crosses with the Alessandria-San Giuseppe di Cairo.
It is located in Piazza Vittorio Veneto near the historic center of the town.
The station was opened on January 3 1858, when the railway section for Alessandria was inaugurated. The plant remained open until 1874, when the continuation to San Giuseppe di Cairo was opened for operation. In 1893 the station was reached by the Asti – Ovada, first section of the line to Genoa.[1] On 25 May 1976, the last three-phase AC railway electrification train, hauled by the E.432.008, arrived at this station. A few minutes from the arrival, the E.432 lowered the pantographs and direct current was introduced into the now formerly three-phase two-wire overhead line. According to the 2003 line files, the route of the historic Asti-Genoa line is now divided into two lines, the Asti–Acqui Terme[2] and Acqui Terme–Ovada-Genoa.[3]
