History
The railway was inaugurated from 8 September 1856.[1]
From 10 July 1951, with the end of the concession to the "Società Strade Ferrate di Biella (SFB)" company, the management of the railway line passed to the state and the exercise was assumed by Ferrovie dello Stato.[2]
In the year 2000, the entire line management passed to Rete Ferroviaria Italiana.[3]
