Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Rome-Civitavecchia railway line is one of the oldest railways in Italy, in the Papal States, opening in 1859 and is 72.6 km long. The line now forms part of the Pisa-Rome line. The railway was built by the Societ Pio Central (Italian for Central Pius Company), named in honour of Pope Pius IX, who had overturned the Vatican's previous opposition to innovations such as railways in the Papal States. It was headed by the haulage contractor Mr. Hubert Debrousse, a French engineer, and 950 workers were engaged on 27 railway work sites. Work commenced in October 1856 and in thirty months the railway and two stations were built between the Porta Portese station in Rome, near the current Roma Trastevere station and a temporary station at Civitavecchia. The line was opened for service on 24 April 1859, with two trips a day from Rome and two trips a day from Civitavecchia, with a journey time of 2 hours. In 1860 the railway was absorbed into the Societ per le Strade Ferrate Romane.
