BLS Cargo is the freight subsidiary of the Swiss railway company BLS AG and is responsible for all of the group's freight operations. It works in cooperation with the freight subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn, then called Railion, and although management and sales are its own, most of its staff are employed by BLS AG. Part of the BLS locomotive fleet is owned by BLS Cargo rather than by the parent, and the Wikipedia article lists freight rolling stock made up of Re 425, Re 456, Re 465, Re 475 and Re 485 electric locomotives, Re 486 locomotives and a single Am 845. In 2019 BLS Cargo acquired Crossrail Benelux, which became a full division of the group in 2020 and was renamed BLS Cargo Nord in 2025.
