Railways of the Slovak Republic is the state-owned railway infrastructure company of Slovakia.
The company was established in 1993 as the successor to the Czechoslovak State Railways 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 – , 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.
