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. This line is used by the suburban trains named as line 2.
"Passante" is the Italian word for "passing" and is used to describe a railway built through a major city, connecting suburban lines. This is modelled on S-Bahn underground junctions built in West Germany in the 1970s.
