Last update for this page: 13 September 2007.
National Railway System: Schweizerische Bundesbahnen AG (SBB), Chemins de fer federaux suisses SA (CFF) and Ferrovie federali svizzere SA (FFS) are the German, French and Italian renderings of Swiss Federal Railways. The form used on buildings and other fixed installations depends on the language area in which they are situated. At a few locations, notably Biel/Bienne, two langauges are used. Most rolling stock carries all three sets of initials. A few lines in Switzerland are owned by Deutsche Bahn AG, the German national railway.
Language: German is the main language. There is an extensive French-speaking area covering Cantons Vaud, Fribourg, Neuchatel and Jura, plus the western half of Valais and a small part of Bern. Italian is spoken in Canton Ticino. The predominant language in Canton Graubünden is German, but there is a minority language, Romansch.
Currency: Swiss franc
UIC code: Those in regular use on rolling stock are 62 Swiss private lines freight pool, 63 Lotschbergbahn and 85 SBB/CFF/FFS. The following are used principally for accountancy purposes: 34 Pont-Brassus, 35 Val de Travers, 36 CF Jura and Gruyere-Fribourg-Morat, 38 Regionalverkehr Mittelland, 45 Sihltal-Zürich-Uetliberg, 47 Südostbahn and 49 Rorschach Heiden Bergbahn.
Timetable: The Offizielles Kursbuch/Indicateur officiel/Orario ufficiale is published annually and is extremely comprehensive. There are two volumes, one for railways, cablecars, funiculars and shipping services, and the other for buses and trams. There is a full introduction in German, French, Italian, Romansch and English, with tabular material in the language appropriate to the part of the country concerned. Copies may be purchased from the Swiss Centre in London, but they often sell out soon after the new edition is published each spring. The former International volume is not longer published, having been replaced by a series of free pamphlets (because of the different operational dates in adjacent countries). Both the train and bus volumes include route diagrams. The rail diagram, which is fold out, marks principal stations and a number of lengthy tunnels (though some which are marked are shorter than ones which are not). Certain bus routes and the longer funicular railways are also shown. Railways are shown on the bus diagram, which is a loose sheet.
Gauge: The SBB/CFF/FFS system is standard gauge, except for the metre gauge Brunig line between Interlaken and Luzern (which includes three sections of Riggenbach rack). Most other railways are either standard gauge or metre gauge, and some have sections of both. Various other gauges are used. The Rhätische Bahn, Furka Oberalp Bahn and the Brig Visp Zermatt Bahn together form an extensive metre gauge system with through workings between the three lines.
Electrification: Most standard gauge lines are electrified at 15kV 16.7Hz, with 11kV 16.7Hz on the RhB/FO/BVZ system. Various systems are used by other railways, including low voltage dc. The CFF line from Geneve to the frontier at La Plaine (but excluding the tracks to Geneve Aeroport) is electrified at 1500V dc, for through running by SNCF trains. Very few lines are not electrified, the main exceptions being the DB AG line from Basel to Schaffhausen which is partly within Switzerland, the steam-worked Brienz Rothorn Bahn and the freight-only Sursee-Triengen line.
Rule of the road: Left, except for right hand running as follows: on DB AG lines through Basel and Schaffhausen, and on the SNCF line between Mulhouse and Basel SBB / Bâle SNCF.
Other Railways: Cantons (local government) have extensive shareholdings in many of these railways. Some railways have amalgamated in recent years or combined their operations. Rolling stock, tickets and publicity still bear old names in some cases. This is particularly so with Oberaargau-Solothurn-Seeland Transport, Montreux Oberland bernois, Lotschbergbahn and Regionalverkehr Mittelland. In many cases private railways operate over SBB lines and vice versa. Unless shown otherwise, lines are standard gauge and electrified at 15kV 16.7Hz. Funicular railways are not listed.

Recent and Future Changes:
Passenger services have been withdrawn from the following lines in recent years: Beinwil am See - Beromünster and Herzogenbuchsee - Solothurn 30 May 1992; Laupen - Gummenen 22 May 1993; Solothurn - Buren an der Aare, Koblenz - Laufenburg and Sumiswald-Grunen - Wasen i E 28 May 1995; Boncourt - Delle 1 June 1996; Wohlen - Fahrwangen-Meisterschwanden 31 May 1997. The Boncourt to Delle line closed to all traffic, as did the cross-border freight line between Ramsen and Singen on 25 October 1996. The Fahrwangen-Meisterschwanden branch closed to all traffic beyond Villmergen. The freight line to Kriens was cut back to Kupferhammer in May 1998, following sale of the line by Luzern City Council to a consortium of users. Increasing use is being made by SBB of buses to replace stopping trains, due to line capacity constraints. It is expected that from June 2001 the Oensingen-Balsthal Bahn will only run passenger trains at peak periods.
Extensive new works are under way in connection with the Bahn 2000 and AlpTransit projects. The former is to accelerate internal express services and the latter is to increase capacity, particularly for freight, on the routes over the Alps to Italy.
As part of Bahn 2000 a new line for fast trains between Bern and Olten opened between Lochligut and Mattstetten Ost on 28 May 1995. A further section from Mattstetten Ost to Rothrist is under construction. Stopping trains continue to use the old main line. Bahn 2000 also included construction of the 5.3km Adler Tunnel, between Muttenz and Liestal, which opened on 4 December 2000. Extensive realignment of the Yverdon - Neuchatel route is under construction. The new dual track tunnel Zürich - Thalwil opened 15 June 2003.
The main elements of AlpTransit are new Gotthard and Lötschberg base tunnels and upgrading the Brig to Geneve line. Work has started on the 57 km Gotthard tunnel, but completion is unlikely before 2010. Construction of the Lötschberg base tunnel started in 1999.
The Rhätische Bahn Vereina Tunnel opened to regular services on 22 November 1999. The Furka Oberalp has diverted its line out of Disentis through a new tunnel. There are plans to adapt the Zweisimmen - Spiez - Interlaken Ost line so that it can be used by metre gauge trains as well as standard gauge ones. This will allow through workings between Montreux and Luzern via Gstaad and Interlaken.
The Luzern to Lenzburg line was diverted via a new route from Emmenbrücke to Waldibrücke on 24 May 1998. The Lausanne-Echallens-Bercher line was extended to a new underground terminus at Lausanne-Flon on 28 May 2000. The Ferrovie Lugano-Ponte Tresa is to be diverted to an underground terminus at Ponte Tresa that is currently under construction.The Menziken-Burg line of Wynental- und Suhrentalbahn is being diverted onto the trackbed of the SBB Beromünster branch between Reinach and Menziken. The Nyon – Les Plantaz section of the Nyon - La Cure line closed 17 August 2003, and opened after rebuilding into a tunnel to a new station at Nyon on 12 December 2004. It is also planned to extend the Genève Eaux Vives branch to La Praille, allowing trains to run to the main station, and as a first step, local trains operate Genève Cornavin – Lancy-Point-Rouge, in the freight yard. A third track is being built Genève Cornavin – Coppet. The section Genève – Versiox opened late June 2003, and the section Versiox – Coppet opened 12 December 2004. The Geneva tramway was extended from Cornavin station to Place des Nation (United Nations) on 13 December 2003.
The Südostbahn has merged with the Bodensee-Toggenburg, and the Mittelthurgaubahn has ceased to exist, due to financial difficulties. Staff and equipment has been transferred either to the SBB or to Thurbo, a company jointly owned by SBB and the canton of Thurgau.
The high-speed line Matstetten – Rothrist (Bern – Olten) was opened at the timetable change, 12 December 2004. At the same time the connecting links Solothurn – Rothrist (Gieshübel Tunnel), and the direct curve Rothrist – Zofingen were opened. The line from Solothurn is mainly an upgrade of the closed line Solothurn – Herzogenbuchsee. The old line is removed between Inkwil and north of Herzogebuchsee. The lines (Lenzburg -) Gruemet Jn – Dättwil – Wettingen and Aarau – Buchs AG – Suhr were closed to passenger traffic. The former will be retained for freight and diversions, the latter will be transferred to AAR (ex WSB) and rebuilt into metre gauge. The AAR plans to abandon its current - mostly street-running - track and move to this line within approximately four years.
The S-bahn Bern was extended, also the same date. SBB and BLS have exchanged staff, duties and equipment to fit the new plan, where BLS holds the main responsibility for S-bahn Bern. The RM line Affoltern-Weier – Huttwil now only sees limited service (see CH05/5).
The Geneva Tramway system was extended from Plainpalais to Lancy-Pont-Rouge, also 12 December 2004. This line is planned to be extended further to Palettes and the existing line there late 2005.
The SBB Brünig line and Luzern – Stans – Engelberg are merging into Zentralbahn.
Special notes:
Distinctions between main line railways, light railways and tramways are more difficult in Switzerland than perhaps any other country. For example, the main line of the Rhätische Bahn from St Moritz to Tirano has several sections of street running.
Fares on some mountain railways are very expensive, though rover tickets and holiday cards may give reductions. Discounts may be available for travel on trains early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
The Furka Oberalp and Montreux Oberland Bernois are among the railways running "Panoramic", "Glacier Express" or other trains with special facilities, such as observation cars. A supplementary fare is usually charged and advance reservation compulsory or strongly recommended.
Explanations in English of Swiss (and Austrian) railway signalling can be found at web.utanet.at/smiderkr/.
The webcam in a SBB Re 460, which has been available at www.myswitzerland.com for some years, was removed from this site late January 2005, but was restored within a month. When in operation, it normally shows a new picture every 15 minutes, when there is daylight.

Maps: SBB's "Schweiz Bahn-Karte, which is widely available, shows all passenger railways, inter-urban bus routes, ferries, cable cars and chair lifts on a 1:301000 relief map of Switzerland. "Schienennetz Schweiz: Ein technisch-historischer Atlas", published by AS Verlag (ISBN 3-905111-21-7), includes track layout diagrams and gradient profiles for all Swiss railways, as well as a vast amount of other technical and historical data. There is a map of the Swiss railway network on the SBB site at mct.sbb.ch/mct/netzkarte_schweiz.pdf.
A very good atlas has been published by Schweers + Wall in Germany. Eisenbahnatlas Schweiz, ISBN 3-89494-122-7, is already used as a reference in the Sparse/Obscure pages of this website. It also contains addresses, telephone numbers, and, where available, e-mail and web addresses for all transport companies using rail. Track plans for RhB (ISBN 3-89494-101-4) and MGB (ISBN 3.89494) have been published by Schweers+Wall. A large part of the country can be seen at www.sporenplan.nl.
