Masovian Railways,[1] in PolishKoleje Mazowieckie, is a regional rail operator in theMasovian Voivodeship ofPoland.
The company was founded in 2004 as a joint venture of theMasovian Voivodeship, with 51% shares, and the then government-ownedPKP Przewozy Regionalne, with 49% shares, to handle local passenger traffic in the Voivodeship. It started operating on 1 January 2005. Since the end of 2007 Masovian Railways has been fully owned by the Masovian Voivodeship.
