There are a few railway lines crossing the France–Switzerland border, the most-frequented ones being the Lyon–Geneva railway and the Strasbourg–Basel railway lines. TGV Lyria, a joint-venture between SBB and the French SNCF, operates high-speed trains from Paris or southern France to Genève-Cornavin and Lausanne or Basel
Finally in 1844 the sections between Strasbourg and Koenigshoffen, and between Saint-Louis and the France–Switzerland border were opened. [3] With its southern terminus at Basel St. Johann, it was the first railway line to serve Switzerland, before the Spanisch-Brötli-Bahn. [5]
Lines. This map shows all railways described as “general interest” by law, as opposed to local interest railways. However, several railways initially considered as local interest have eventually been reclassified as general interest: in this case, railways are shown on this map as soon as they are constructed, unless the reclassification coincided with a transformation of the ...
The France–Switzerland border is 572 km (355 mi) long. [1] [2] Its current path is mostly the product of the Congress of Vienna of 1815, with the accession of Geneva, Neuchâtel and Valais to the Swiss Confederation, but it has since been modified in detail, the last time being in 2002.

As these gauges have always remained rare in France, narrow (less than 1,435 mm) and wide (more than 1,435 mm) gauge tracks are not differentiated. Source of energy. The source of energy indicated is the most efficient used on the line, but it is not necessarily the only one. For example, trains with thermal traction can run on an electrified line.
The regionalisation of intercity and local services was tested in 1997 and fully deployed in the early 2000s. Since then, TERs (regional express trains) have seen traffic rise steeply (50% between 2000 and 2013) as, to a lesser extent, have services in the Ile de France region (25%). Rail freight has been far less successful.
