Easy to get wrong
This SBB InterCity/InterRegio service only runs on SBB-owned track as far as Spiez; from Spiez to Interlaken it continues on the 27.9 km Lake Thun railway line, owned and operated by BLS AG since taking it over from the independent Lake Thun Railway company in 1913 - the final leg actually runs on BLS infrastructure, not SBB's own network.
