Cargo trains above ground need to stop at lights, need human drivers, etc etc. I think CST vs. cargo rail are very much complementary.

In fact the first leg of CST is from the biggest swiss post logistical center (https://www.google.com/maps/@47.3197669,7.8162172,1399m/data=!3m1!1e3 https://www.google.com/maps/@47.3197669,7.8162172,1399m/data...) to the biggest Swiss city.
