Railways of the Slovak Republic (Slovak: Železnice Slovenskej republiky, acronym: ŽSR) is the state-owned railway infrastructure company of Slovakia.
The company was established in 1993 as the successor to the Czechoslovak State Railways (Slovak: Česko-slovenské štátne dráhy) in Slovakia following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia. It had a formal monopoly on railroad transportation in Slovakia until 1996, and while other rail transport companies have since been allowed to operate in the country – for example, RegioJet, a private provider, has been operating passenger rail lines since 2012[4] – , it has retained a de facto monopoly.
In 2002, the Slovak parliament passed a law dividing the company. ŽSR was tasked with infrastructure maintenance, while passenger and freight transport was moved to Železničná spoločnosť. In 2005, this new company was further split into Železničná spoločnosť Slovensko,[5] which provides passenger services, and Železničná spoločnosť Cargo Slovakia,[6] which provides freight services.
