Ferrovia Circumetnea
The Ferrovia Circumetnea (roughly translated as ''"Round- Etna Railway"'') is a narrow-gauge, , regional railway line in Sicily. It was constructed between 1895 and 1898. As the name suggests, the line follows a route which almost completely encircles the Mount Etna volcano. From its terminal in Catania the line starts off westward and loops around Mount Etna in a clockwise direction (as seen on the map), eventually reaching the other terminal at the seaside town of Riposto, approximately northeast of Catania. The original terminal was at Catania Porto, although Catania Central (the mainline station) was the last stop for the trains. However, in the 1990s the section from there to Catania Borgo ( long) was converted to standard gauge and moved underground for most of its length for use as a new metro ( Metropolitana di Catania). The original terminus, the Porto station, was also reinstated. Therefore, the Circumetnea trains now terminate at Catania Borgo. The Ferrovia Circumet ...

Catania Metro
The Catania Metro ( it, Metropolitana di Catania) is a rapid transit system serving the coastal city of Catania, Sicily, in Southern Italy. It is the southernmost metro system in Europe, the only one in Sicily, and one of the seven Italian metro systems. The Catania Metro has been in operation since 27 June 1999. History and construction The section of the line between the stations of Borgo and Porto originally belonged to the Ferrovia Circumetnea narrow-gauge regional railway which opened to traffic in 1895. For the operation of the metro, this portion of the rail line was converted to standard gauge and mostly moved underground into a double-track cut-and-cover tunnel, except for the part of the route adjacent to the coast which runs on the surface for and which is single-tracked. Thus, the narrow-gauge Circumetnea railway's original terminus at Catania Porto had to be moved to Borgo due to the development of the Catania Metro. The Metropolitana and the Circumetnea railwa ...
