SNCF, Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français, is the French national railway company. It was created on January 1, 1938. It uses the IATA designator 2C in relation to journeys codeshared by airlines.

1 Scope of business

SNCF operates almost all of France's railway system, including the TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse, literally " high-speed train").

In the past, SNCF owned not only the trains, but also the tracks. Starting from 1997, the tracks belong to a separate government establishment, Réseau Ferré de France . This may, in the future, lead to several companies proposing services on the same network.
