Two rail workers have been killed in separate incidents over the past few days.
On Sunday, a construction worker was hit by a passenger train in canton Thurgau and yesterday morning a maintenance technician was also fatally struck by a train just outside Zurich.
That incident led to cancellations on the Zurich to Olten route.
Investigations into both cases are still ongoing.
