Politicians in Switzerland are questioning SBB Cargo's decision to expand into Germany and Italy. Minister Leunenberger was quoted as saying SBB Cargo doesn't have the resources to stay the course. This does not look good.
The Union leader suggests rapproachment with the DB, but he would, the EU and the customers would be angry if that happens. And would that really solve anything? Unless SBB Cargo badly priced their services I would expect the long distance services to generate profits, while their domestic carload business would continue to lose money.
