Another "new open access" railway operator intends to join the Hermes network: NORDCARGO (NC, http://www.nordcargo.it). NC operates freight trains mainly on the north-southbound corridors. Presetly it is the 2nd largest freight railway operator in Italy, providing traction for about 7500 trains per year. Now it is merged with DB Schenker Rail Italia and owned by DB Schenker (60%) and FNM (Ferrovie Nord Milano). The new Hermes site will be likely in Milan. NC will run the application 30 (Train consist preadvice).
