Syrian Railways Corporation (Arabic: المؤسسة العامة للخطوط الحديدية السورية, romanized: al-Muʾassasah al-ʿĀmmah lil-Khuṭūṭ al-Ḥadīdīyah al-Sūrīyah, French: Chemins de fer syriens, CFS) is the national railway operator for the state of Syria, subordinate to the Ministry of Transport. It was established in 1956 and was headquartered in Aleppo. Syria's rail infrastructure has been severely compromised as a result of the ongoing conflict in the country.
