Railway line Rome – Cassino – Naples
The Rome – Cassino – Naples line was the first of the three existing lines between the capitals of the Lazio and Campania regions to open. The line is now completely electrified with 3 kilovolt direct current. After the opening of the high-speed line from Rome to Naples , the route will mainly be used by regional trains, some of them to connections to the Adriatic coast, as well as night trains. The Rome-Naples high-speed line (the line largely opened on December 19, 2005) usually follows the same corridor.
Line 6 of the Ferrovia Regionale Lazio runs on the route to Cassino .
history
The first part of the line was opened at the southern end between Napoli Cancello and Caserta on December 20, 1843, built by the Royal Neapolitan Railroad and was the second section in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies after the Naples – Portici line in 1839. It was removed from the station Naples operated Porta Nolana which is now used by the Circumvesuviana . This line was extended to Capua on May 26, 1844. A branch line was opened from Cancello to Nola in 1846 and extended to Sarno in 1856.
The northern part of the line was opened between a Porta Maggiore station (southwest of Termini station) and Ciampino on July 14, 1856 as part of the Rome-Frascati railway line by the Società Pio Latina , a French railway company named in honor of Pope Pius IX. who defied the Vatican's earlier behavior regarding innovations such as railways in the papal states. The line was expanded to include the new Roma Termini station on October 22, 1863 .
In 1860, the Società Pio Latina and the Società Pio-Centrale, which had built the Rome-Civitavecchia railway, were merged and now formed the Società per le strade ferrate romane , which then also took over the Royal Neapolitan Railway Company. On December 1, 1862 a section of another 80 kilometers from Rome Termini to Ceprano - Falvaterra (including the Porta Maggiore-Ciampino section) was opened. The 42 kilometers from Capua via Tora - Presenzano followed on October 14, 1861. The last 52 kilometers between Ceprano-Falvaterra- and Tora- Presenzano completed the railway connection on February 25, 1863.
