The Swiss rail network is noteworthy for its density,[1][2] its coordination between services, its integration with other modes of transport,[3][4] and a thriving domestic and trans-alp freight system. This is made necessary by strong regulations on truck transport,[5] and is enabled by properly coordinated intermodal logistics.[6] Switzerland is a member of the International Union of Railways (UIC). The UIC Country Code for Switzerland is 85.[7]
