CityNightLine (timetable and platform sign abbreviation: CNL) was a Swiss night train service. CNL had right of passage grants in Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland and Denmark. It served stations in Belgium, France, Italy and the Czech Republic. CityNightLine was acquired by Deutsche Bahn AG in 2007 and merged with DB NachtZug to form the new "City Night Line," which presently offers night services in former CityNightLine and NachtZug territories, of which includes the majority of CityNightLine's operations at the time of the merger.
