CP – Caminhos de Ferro Portugueses, was set up as a State Owned Enterprise in 1975 to manage the railways in Portugal.

Changes in domestic and Community legislation led to the transport services and the infrastructure management being separated in 1997. CP continues to run the transport operations while REFER - Rede Ferroviária Nacional, EP now runs the infrastructures and there is a rail regulator, the INTF - Instituto Nacional do Transporte Ferroviário, to oversee the sector.
