Thessaly Railways ((ギリシア語:Σιδηρόδρομοι Θεσσαλίας)) was a railway company in Greece, which owned and operated the metre gauge railway network of Thessaly and Pelion railway from 1884 to 1955, when the company was absorbed by the Hellenic State Railways. Today the term usually refers to the section of mainline between Domokos and Rapsani and its two branches, the West Thessaly branch to Kalambaka and the Volos branch. ==Network and stations== The network of Thessaly Railways consisted of the following lines: * Volos - Velestinon. The line extended from Volos station to the city center along Dimitriados Street. * Velestinon-Kalampaka, connecting with the Athens-Larissa-Thessaloniki standard gauge mainline at Palaiofarsalos. This section had a maximum gradient of 3% between Velestinon and Aerinon. * Velestinon - Larissa, terminating to the Thessaly Railways station, next to the mainline (standard gauge) station. * Volos - Mileai (Pelion railway) Construction started in 1882 under the general management of chief engineer Evaristo de Chirico. The section from Volos to Larissa, 61 km long, was inaugurated on 22 April 1884 by King George I. The 142 km section from Velestinon to Kalambaka was completed on 16 June 1886. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thessaly Railways」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
