Road Name History:
On January 1, 2000, Railion GmbH, headquartered in Mainz, Germany, was set up by Deutsche Bahn AG and the Dutch company Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) to provide rail freight transport activities as 100% subsidiary companies of Railion GmbH. DB Cargo became Railion Deutschland AG and NS Cargo became Railion Benelux NV. Later this company was renamed Railion Nederland NV.
In December 2007 Railion became part of the DB Schenker logistics group, itself a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn. In early 2009 the now larger division was renamed DB Schenker Rail, and once again in 1 March 2016 to its current name, DB Cargo.
DB Cargo is a European (mainly German) railway cargo carrier. The company was formed from the freight operating section of the Deutsche Bahn with the addition of various European rail freight operating companies.
