Cadasa Railways

Cadasa Railways (TC) is the state-owned national railway company of Cadasa. It was founded in 1934 as the Cadasa Railway Corperation (Perisshan Tehlo Cadasa; PTC) and was renamed to Cadasa Railways in 1969.

History
On December 2, 1934, the Tehlo Dinasti Cahaya and the Camatanam Rail Company (two largest rail company of pre-independent Cadasa) merged to form the Cadasa Railway Corporation. In 1940, the PTC was nationalized. In 1969, PTC was changed to its current name. Electrification began on the Eastern Coast line in 1980.

Rolling stock
While Cadasa Railways have purchased a number of new diesel-electric locomotives, they have occasionally bought second-hand engines from various railway companies in Asia, North America, Turkey and Australia.
