Does SNTF run night trains?
Yes — 1 sleeper service in this atlas: Oran–Béchar Night Train (Oran – Béchar).
When was SNTF founded?
Wikidata records the company's inception as 1976, and files it as a transport company. The oldest railway it runs over in this atlas opened in 1871 — the line and the company are rarely the same age, and this page dates both.
