Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC) was established on Sep 5, 1979 with the objective to operate public railways which belonged to the FEVE in Catalonia. It is the first public company which was created by the restored autonomous government. FGC provides and aids improved mobility in and around the state of Catalonia, and it offers visitors as well as locals affordable leisure services.

FGC manages the Railway Network that consists of Llobregat-Anoia and the Barcelona-Vallès metropolitan lines, as well as the Lleida-La Pobla de Segur line. In the mountain area, FGC handles the La Molina, the Montserrat line (the funiculars of Santa Cova and Sant Joan, and the Montserrat rack train), along with the Vall de Núria and the La Molina lines.
