The Portuguese Railway Company (Template:Lang-pt) was the main railway operator in Portugal. Founded on 11 May 1860 by the Spanish businessman José de Salamanca y Mayol under the name Companhia Real dos Caminhos de Ferro Portugueses[1] (Royal Company of Portuguese Railways), it changed its name after the 5 October 1910 Revolution.[2] In the first half of the 20th century, it underwent a process of expansion, assimilating several private railway companies and the railways that had been under the management of the Portuguese government.[3] However, the effects of the Second World War, and the advance of road[4] and air transport[5] its economic situation deteriorated to such an extent that, after the Carnation revolution, the company had to be nationalised and transformed into a new institution, called Caminhos de Ferro Portugueses.[6]
