The Avellino – Rocchetta Sant'Antonio railway runs through the Italian regions of Campania , Basilicata and Apulia . It connects the provincial capital Avellino with the interior.

The railway line was opened to traffic in three sections between 1892 and 1895 and is around 120 kilometers long, single-track and not electrified.
It runs from Avellino in a north-easterly direction and after 20 kilometers follows the Calore river to Montella . The route then looks for its way east into the interior of the country and follows the Ofanto river valley from Lioni . From Cairano the railway line and the river runs along the border with the Basilicata region and reaches the Apulia region about 3 kilometers before the end. Most of the stations are far away from the namesake locations. In 2010 there was only regional traffic. A trip on the route took 2:39 hours. Passenger traffic was discontinued when the timetable changed in December 2010. The route was incorporated into a law on tourist railways on August 2, 2017, and on August 25, 2017 the first train ran between Rocchetta Sant'Antonio-Lacedonia and Lioni.
