List of Swiss railway companies

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list includes the Swiss railway companies . Railway infrastructure companies (EIU, own route) and railway companies (EVU, with trains traveling on routes (safety certificate required)) are considered to be railway companies within the meaning of this list .

Railway companies that do not have their own routes (such as Cisalpino , Hupac AG or the former Lokoop ) are listed separately under the table, provided they are approved as RUs. As a rule, the operators of sidings are also not listed (companies with rail connections for freight transport).

The lists contain the names of the railway and tramway companies according to the official spelling, i.e. primarily according to the spelling of the Swiss Commercial Register . It should be noted that the names in the Swiss Commercial Register are often only entered in one language, the corresponding national language ( German , French , Italian or Romansh ) in which the company is based. The corresponding name corresponds almost without exception with the entries in the lists of the Federal Office of Transport (FOT), which approve the names and the corresponding abbreviations proposed by the railway and tramway companies. This official abbreviation consists of a maximum of six letters.

In addition to the companies with routes and / or their own (or rented) locomotives, there are also some pure wagon keepers, such as B. the wascosa , or so-called operators combined transport, such. B. ICF . These only own railway wagons, are actually not transport companies in the narrower sense and are also not allowed to drive trains themselves because they do not have a safety certificate. They are not considered the actual railway company and are therefore not included in these lists.

Standard gauge

In Switzerland, the standard gauge is 1435 mm.

The following is a list as complete as possible of all railway companies that operate standard-gauge lines on Swiss soil. This also includes foreign railway companies with routes in Switzerland (such as Deutsche Bahn ), but not foreign subsidiaries of Swiss companies (such as SBB GmbH ).

Narrow gauge

Due to the mountainous topography , many railways in Switzerland have been laid out as narrow-gauge railways with 1000 mm gauge, some with other gauges as well. In the Alps, for example, a coherent network of around 530 kilometers in length was formed, which is now operated by the Rhaetian Railway and the Matterhorn-Gotthard Railway . In the foothills of the Alps and in the Jura, too, many railways were laid out in meter gauge, plus many urban suburban railways and most of the tram lines.
