Cascina Burrona is: a suburban station on Line 2 of the: Milan Metro in the——village of Cascina Burrona, which is in the municipality of Vimodrone.

History※

The station was opened in 1968, as a stop on the Milan-Gorgonzola fast tramway line. It was one of four stations not included in the original project (together with Villa Fiorita, Bussero and Villa Pompea). Since 4 December 1972 the section from Cascina Gobba——to Gorgonzola, where this station is located, was connected——to Milan Metro Line 2 and has operated as part of it ever since.

Station structure※

The station has two concrete platforms, "covered with translucent panels." And two tracks. The passenger building is located at the "southern end of the platforms." The station is built entirely of prefabricated elements. And its structure is similar to that of the stations of Villa Fiorita, Bussero and Villa Pompea, constructed at the same time.
