31 Glossary P29 Terms used Block train Railfreight service involving the haulage of an entire train composed of an individual customer s wagons, all of which have the same point of origin and the same destination. Current assets Assets carried in the balance sheet which are held by the company for a short period of time only and which are used for providing the service offered. Depreciation Pro rata decrease in value of tangible assets due to ageing and to wear and tear. Straight-line depreciation: Item depreciated on a straight line until the end of the presumed service life. Impairment: Unexpected decrease in value due to special factors such as damage or accidents. Domestic services Services that start and end within Switzerland. EBIT Earnings before interest and taxes: Profit before financial expenses (payment of interest on loans), financial income (interest received on financial assets and holdings) and taxes on income and capital. Fixed assets Assets carried in the balance sheet which are used by the company for a lengthy period of time: permanent way, land, buildings, track installations, signalling systems, rolling stock, licences, etc. Grant Compensation for transport services ordered by the public sector that do not cover their costs. Infrastructure manager Company responsible for the operation, maintenance, renewal and enhancement of the rail infrastructure. Intermodal freight Haulage of freight by means of different transport modes without changing the cargo units used. A distinction is made between unaccompanied intermodal (or combined ) freight and piggyback freight (also called Rollende Landstrasse in German-speaking countries). Local services Services with short intervals between stops; feeder or urban services, as distinct from long-distance and regional services. Local services are not eligible for federal government grants. Long-distance services Fast services with long intervals between stops, linking large and mediumsized centres, operated by the SBB on a forprofit basis; as distinct from regional and local services. Piggyback freight Synonym for accompanied combined (intermodal) freight: Transportation of a truck, together with its driver, on a railfreight wagon. Railway undertaking Railway company that provides transport services and passengers freight. Regional services Services with medium-length intervals between stops that link regional centres with each other or link rural and suburban areas with towns; as distinct from long-distance and local services. Federal and cantonal governments commission regional transport services from operators and provide grants for those costs which, according to budget estimates, are not covered by ticket revenues. Routes managed The lines managed by an infrastructure management company. They may not necessarily be owned by the operator but may be leased by them or managed on behalf of third parties.

32 P30 Glossary Units used Tonnage Volume of freight traffic. Total gross tonnes: overall weight of a freight train including locomotive(s). Gross tonnes: hauled tonnage, i. e. overall weight of the train without locomotive(s). Net tonnes: actual payload of a freight train.

Owing to rounding, the sums of the figures in the tables may differ from the totals stated. [ ] Data in square brackets are those which, owing to restatement, are not directly comparable with the current data.... Data on this parameter is not available. Parameter does not exist.
