Hekurudha Shqiptare
Hekurudha Shqiptare or HSH ''(Albanian Railways)'' is the state-owned operator of the Albanian railway system and became a private company in 2005.

The present railway was built in stages. Rrogozhinë was the southernmost station in Albania until 1968 when an extension to Fier was completed. A further extension to Ballsh opened in 1975. Vlorë was reached by another extension in 1985. A limited service was still in operation on the line until 2015, but passenger services no longer run south of Fier.
