Casale Monferrato railway station is the main station of Casale Monferrato, in the Piedmont region of north-west Italy, and is now the only one at which passenger trains stop.
It is located in Piazza Vittorio Veneto, close to the city’s principal public gardens, and to the east of the city centre. The station previously provided access to three railway lines: Asti – Mortara, Vercelli–Casale Monferrato and Chivasso–Alessandria: of these only the last remains active. The station was opened on 22 March 1857, upon the inauguration of the Vercelli–Casale–Valenza railway. On 6 July 1870 the line between Mortara and Asti opened; it was extended to Castagnole six days later. In April 1887, completion of track between Castelrosso and Casale Popolo brought about a direct connection to Chivasso.
