Lodi railway station (Italian: Stazione di Lodi) serves the town and comune of Lodi, in the region of Lombardy, northern Italy. Launched 1861, it lies along the Milan–Bologna 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.
Lodi railway station is located in Piazzale della Stazione, at the southern edge of the town centre.
The station was opened November 14th, 1861, right after the Milan–Piacenza section of the Milan–Bologna railway was launched. It has undergone many changes after that.
In the stations heyday, its goods yard was connected with a silk spinning mill a short distance away. This piece of rail connection was closed when the mill shut down.
When further tracks were added, those destined to commuter traffic were increased to four. Around 2004, a fifth track was converted to passenger use. It was previously used mainly for overtaking goods trains on tracks 2 and 3.
In the same period, the goods yard section facing Piazzale della Stazione was converted into a parking lot and into the terminal of coach lines run by LINE. The warehouse adjacent to Platform 1 suffered a similar fate. It was closed, and the area is now used as the LINE ticket office.
The passenger building is connected with all tracks (except the first, which is adjacent to it) by a pedestrian underpass. The platforms are equipped with shelters.
