Naples to visit Herculaneum

We will be in Naples and would like to take a side trip to Herculaneum. I can't find a train that goes there. Can anyone help with some info? Thanks in advance.

You want the Circumvesuviana. Check out this site for timetables: www.massalubrense.it/circum.htm

Ercolano is the stop.

Yes, the Circumvesuviana (the same line that goes to the Pompeii ruins) stops at Herculaneum. Its a 10 or so minute walk to the ruins from the station.
