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 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.

Since the 1930s, the 1,435 mm gauge has been adopted as the standard and gradually replaced the 1,445 mm track gauge.
