PROFILE |
 |
There's no more fire in the engines, but France's state-owned railway company, Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Français (SNCF), is still blazing a trail as France's primary provider of local and long-distance passenger and freight service. Its high-speed TGV trains travel at up to 250 mph, and SNCF's Eurostar joint venture shuttles some 7 million passengers a year between Paris and London via the Channel Tunnel. Other ventures include teaming up with Deutsche Bahn to design a European high-speed rail system, with the UK's Go-Ahead Group to provide bus and rail transport, and with French hotel group Accor to offer lodging discounts. SNCF also holds a 43% stake in Géodis, one of France's largest logistics firms.
