[2] The Gotthard railway opened in 1882, providing a transport link to the communities of the valley of the Ticino River.

In order to provide a link to the communities of the Valle di Blenio, the Biasca–Acquarossa railway was opened in 1911.

It commenced from the square in front of Biasca station, had 14 stops, a maximum gradient of 3.5% and a minimum radius of 133 metres (436 ft).

[2][3] The main depot of the line in Biasca, which was built in the late 1960s, is in use as a bus depot by Autolinee Bleniesi, who operate bus services including those replacing the railway.
