Forlì railway station (Italian: Stazione di Forlì) serves the city and comune of Forlì, in the region of Emilia-Romagna, northern Italy. Opened in 1926, it forms part of the Bologna–Ancona railway.
The station is currently managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI). However, the commercial area of the passenger building is managed by Centostazioni. Train services are operated by Trenitalia. Each of these companies is a subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato (FS), Italy's state-owned rail company.
Forlì railway station is situated at Piazzale Martiri d'Ungheria, to the east of the city centre.
Forlì's original station was opened on 1 September 1861, together with the rest of the Bologna–Forlì section of the Bologna–Ancona railway.
Just over one month later, on 5 October 1861, the new line was extended, from the original Forlì station to Rimini.
In 1926, the original station was closed and replaced by the present station.
A project of the engineer Enzo Bianchi, the present station is about 100 metres (or yards) to the east of the original station.
The passenger building is rectangular in shape, and has three levels, but only the ground floor is open to the public.
The building consists of three sections. The central part has three arched entrances on either side. There are also two turrets on the Piazzale side, at each end of the section. Extending laterally from the central section are two symmetrical wings.
Adjacent to the passenger building is the station yard. It has three tracks used for passenger services. In detail:
All passenger tracks have a platform sheltered by a canopy. The platforms and connected with each other by a pedestrian underpass.
