The Bulgarian State Railways (Bulgarian: Български държавни железници, Balgarski darzhavni zheleznitsi, abbreviated as БДЖ, BDZ) are Bulgaria state railway company and the largest railway carrier in the country, established as an entity in 1885 as its mentioned in Bulgaria rail map. The company headquarters are located in the capital Sofia. Up to 2000 the company managed most of the railway infrastructure in the country when it was separated into National Company Railway Infrastructure. Since the 1990s the BDZ has met serious competition from automotive transportation. For the period 1990 to 2005 there is significant reduction in the company activities in terms of passenger and freight services. The company has 17 867 employees.

The first railway in Bulgaria (Rousse–Varna, with a length of 223 km) was constructed in 1865 by a British company, one of the investors being William Ewart Gladstone, and began operation on 7 November 1866. The British company transferred the rights to the corporation to Baron Maurice de Hirsch, which was eventually bought by the Bulgarian state in 1888. Between 1870 and 1874, the railway lines in Southern Bulgaria owned by Baron Hirsch had a total length of 309,6 km. They became state property in 1909. The first railway line in Bulgaria that was entirely designed and built by Bulgarian engineers and designers was opened on 1 August 1888, connecting Tsaribrod, Sofia and Vakarel, and served by the Central Railway Station in Sofia as you can see in Bulgaria rail map. According to an 1886 law approved by the National Assembly, the state entirely assumes the rights and responsibilities of constructing, developing and using Bulgaria railway network; this law also established the Bulgarian State Railways.

Bulgaria is in the beginning stages of upgrading the railway infrastructure throughout the country. Several new lines with a top speed of 160 km/hr for regular trains and 200 km/hr for tilting trains are being constructed and planned. The first railway section allowing for higher speed trains in Bulgaria is currently being constructed between the city of Plovdiv and town of Svilengrad, more accurately, to the Captain Andreevo border checkpoint with Turkey as its shown in Bulgaria rail map. The total length will be 150 km, of which 20 km will be double track. The section will have 27 stations and halts. This will link Turkey already existing higher speed railway line to Bulgaria newly developed one and should be finished by June 2011. The second phase of the higher speed railways in Bulgaria will be from Plovdiv to the Serbian border at Dragoman. This will complete the trans-Bulgarian high speed section between Turkey and Serbia. When this second section is completed, travel time between Sofia and Plovdiv, Bulgaria two largest cities, will be shortened to an estimated 40 minutes. This section should be started by May 2011.
