The Villa Literno–Napoli Gianturco railway (also called the Naples Passante) is a 16 km-long double track line which connects the line to Rome via Formia with the line to Salerno near Napoli Gianturco station through Naples and its north-western suburbs.
The railway suffered heavy damage during World War II. While the first line was restored in 1963, using standard gauge and diesel traction (later electrified then process abandoned), the railroad from Secondigliano did not receive the same attention, and, despite its high traffic, was closed in 1976 and replaced by bus service.
A Naples Circumvesuviana train arrives at Pompei-Scavi in 2004. Most narrow-gauge railways in Italy were built with Italian metre gauge, which is actually 950 mm (3 ft 1 + 3 ⁄ 8 in) because historically the Italian track gauge was defined from the centres of the rail instead of the internationally accepted method of measuring the gauge from the inside edges of the rails.
The Passante Ferroviario di Napoli (also called Villa Literno–Napoli Gianturco railway) is a 16 km-long double track transit line which connects the line to Rome via Formia with the line to Salerno near Napoli Gianturco station through Naples and its north-western suburbs.
The gauge of 1,445 mm (4 ft 8 + 7 ⁄ 8 in) was used for the national Italian rail network and was very similar to the 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) standard gauge commonly used elsewhere in the world. Since the 1930s, the 1,435 mm gauge has been adopted as the standard and gradually replaced the 1,445 mm track gauge.
