Added company box and a small edit in text

I added a company box for the NMBS/SNCB to the text with some financial date retrieved from the anual report. Based on the data in the report, I also changed the sentence that passenger transport in Belgium is profitable to the the NMBS is subsidised, because that is simply (at this moment) not profitable. The passenger devision of the group reported, even with almost €800 milion in government subsidies, an operating loss of €64 milion and an net loss of €80 milion over 2005.

Why NMBS/SNCB ?

I don't understand, why it's called NMBS/SNCB. On the official website, english version, I just see SNCB and not NMBS/SNCB. Furthermore, on the new SNCB Europe website, it is also called SNCB. Same goes for the website of Eurostar and Thalys ( see sources below ). So looks like the name use in English is SNCB. I suggest therefore, to change the name to SNCB.
