The Société générale des chemins de fer économiques ( SE) ( German: General Small Railroad Company ) was the largest company in France, which was concerned with the construction and operation of incidental, small and trams.

The Company was incorporated on February 12, 1880 and established normal and narrow gauge railways in various regions of France. The length of its rail network comprised the early 1930s, about 3,000 kilometers addition there were around 650 kilometers from paths of higher order. Despite the decades-long restriction of passenger and freight transport by rail, the company is still a major mode of transport; but also numerous bus routes are operated. Therefore, the company has been operating since 1963 as Société générale des chemins de fer et de transport automobile ( SGCFTA ). After the 1966 completed merger with the Companie of the chemins de fer secondaires et transports automobiles ( CFSTA ) the CFTA was part of the Veolia Group.
