1846:," was studied to meet the mobility needs of the city of Palermo; commissioned by Italconsult S.p.A. and Groupe Scetauroute, it underwent a revision in 1998. Responsible for the revision and executive design was engineer Vinicio Brandani. The system included three lines: one from the Roccella industrial area to the Central Station, one from the Borgo Nuovo district to the Notarbartolo railway station, and one from the San Giovanni Apostolo district (former Cep) to the Notarbartolo station, passing through Sicilian Region Avenue to the Corso Calatafimi interchange. The project included numerous ancillary works such as three pedestrian overpasses along the Sicilian Region avenue between Einstein Square and Corso Calatafimi; roadway improvements; two rolling stock depots with adjoining workshops, in the Roccella industrial area and on Via Castellana; and the routes on protected lanes entirely separate from the roadways. The planned in-service trains: 17 bi-directional 250-seat trainsets (of which 62 seated), with 6 accesses on each side and equipped with information systems with screens and internal audio. Commercial speed was expected to be about 20 km/h. The overall development of the system of just over 15 km, with 40 stops (almost every 400 meters) had a total cost of about 192 million euros. It was planned to be completed within 5 years from the start of construction (October 2006) with the three lines completed approximately 44, 48, and 52 months from the start date. On 30 December 2005 the contract was awarded to a temporary association of companies consisting of the Turin-based "Sis" consortium, the Rome-based firms "Bombardier Transportation Italy" and "Mosco & Associati," Messina-based "Edil Scavi," Milan-based "Amec Spie Rail," and the Berlin-based, "Seib Ingenieur-Consult," IngenieurbĂĽro Wosnitza e Knappe" and "ETC Transport Consultants." The construction sites opened in October 2006 and began work in June 2007.
378:. Such a route was expected to drastically cut down the connection time between the two metropolitan cities but triggered controversy from Enna and Caltanissetta institutions that preferred a line that would penetrate as far as both cities by retracing a merely modernized version of the current route. The two cities at the time of the railroad's construction were joined mainly because of the richness of their sulfur basins; following the abandonment of ore mining since the late 1960s, rail freight became marginal, both because of market crises and, since the late 1980s, as a result of the FS's decision to abandon small batch transport in favor of full train. Diverting the route planned for the A.V. line with stops in the two cities, however, would totally nullify its construction given that stops below 100 km would drastically lower the commercial speed.
1079:. Variants have been proposed over the years that, while crossing the territories of central Sicily, would involve increases in travel time and require less financial resources. The "institutional contract" of 28 February 2013, partly accepted what had previously been proposed, elaborating on the contested aspects regarding the central section of the line, on which a decision will still have to be made in a rather short time frame; regarding this section, the point of detachment from the old route has been modified, taking it from Catenanuova to Raddusa/Agira. The contract seems to have laid the groundwork for a start on the modernization of the important route, so much so that the government the following year earmarked more than 800 million for the Palermo-Messina-Catania rail axis to carry out part of the work.

Caltagirone from the Etnean capital was also completed, however, it was not until 1931 that this locality was connected to the station of
Dittaino, near Enna, (but on a narrow gauge) and it was necessary to wait a good half century, that is, until 1979, for the continuation of the line to Gela to come into operation, which would probably never have been connected to the Catania-Caltagirone line without the emergence of the Gela petrochemical hub. Instead, the direct connection between Caltagirone and Canicattì, which would have shortened the distance between Catania and Agrigento, remained unfinished, although much of the work had already been completed.

On the railroad network, whose road surface is, in many cases, still that of the last century with embankments in poor condition and never resolved ballast drainage problems, such events often cause traffic disruptions or in less severe cases slowdowns that disrupt the regularity of train travel. (The heavy costs of ongoing rehabilitation work, eventually globally outweighing those of any modernization, contributed to the decision to close the extensive FS narrow-gauge network.)
