Chemins de fer de l'Est

The Compagnie des chemins de fer de l'Est (French pronunciation: [kɔ̃paɲi de ʃəmɛ̃ də fɛʁ də lɛst], lit. 'Eastern Railway Company', CF de l'Est), often referred to simply as the Est company, was an early French railway company. The company was formed in 1853 by the merger of Compagnie du chemin de fer de Paris à Strasbourg, operating the Paris-Strasbourg line, and Compagnie du chemin de fer de Montereau à Troyes. In 1938 it became part of the majority state-owned Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français (SNCF).
