The Continental Line (Swedish: Kontinentalbanan) is a 32-kilometre (20 mi) long railway between Malmö and Trelleborg in Sweden. At Trelleborg the railway formerly ran down to a railway ferry quay and station called Trelleborg F, allowing rail cars to be ferried to Rostock and Sassnitz in Germany. This service was suspended in 2021 and today the tracks are used as storage for Pågatåg train sets. The ferry service to Sassnitz was utilised by Swedish train operator Snälltåget who ran direct sleeper train services between Malmö and Berlin under the name Berlin Night Express. After the suspension of the ferry service trains now travels through Denmark to reach Berlin. A part of the railway is also part of the line between Malmö and Copenhagen via the Oresund Bridge. Passenger services between Malmö and Trelleborg returned in December 2015 after a 40-year hiatus with new intermediate stops at Västra Ingelstad and Östra Grevie. As of 2018 commuter services run on the Continental line between Malmö C, Östervärn, Rosengård, Persborg, and the City tunnel forming a loop marketed as Malmöpendeln.
