  The Lecco–Bergamo railway is a railway line in Lombardy, Italy. The railway infrastructure is managed by the Rete Ferroviaria Italiana, which classifies it as one of its complementary lines. The passenger service is operated by Trenord as a regional service.
  
  ## History
  
  The railway from Lecco to Bergamo was built by the Società delle Strade Ferrate della Lombardia e dell'Italia Centrale (Lombardy and Central Italy Railway Company) and opened on 4 November 1863.
  
  The section from Lecco to Calolziocorte has also been used by the Lecco–Milan railway since 1873. The Bergamo–Ponte San Pietro section has also used been by the Seregno-Bergamo line since the completion of the Carnate–Ponte San Pietro section in 1889.
  
  In 2015, the Province of Bergamo, the region of Lombardy and some local parliamentarians requested and obtained government funding for the doubling of the section between Ponte San Pietro and Montello, the building of the new Bergamo Ospedale station at the Papa Giovanni XXIII hospital and a suburban service between the two Bergamo stations.
  
  ## Standards
  
  The line is 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge and single-track line, except on the Lecco–Calolziocorte section, which is shared with the Monza–Lecco railway and is duplicated. It is entirely electrified at 3000 volts DC and it is signalled locally.
  
  ## Rail traffic
