Barga–Gallicano forms part of the Lucca–Aulla railway. The station is served exclusively by regional trains operated by Trenitalia, whilst the station itself is managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI), both of which are subsidiaries of Italy's state-owned rail company Ferrovie dello Stato (FS).[3]
History
The station was opened in 1911[1] with citizens of both local towns present to celebrate the arrival of a FS Class 290 locomotive operating the first service of the morning.[4]
When it was opened, access to the station from Gallicano relied on a boat crossing over the Serchio. A bridge connecting the town to the station was built 12 years later, in 1923.[4]
A former railway goods warehouse situated adjacent to the station platform was converted into local church Chiesa di Mologno[5] with the addition of a small bell tower.[2]
