People here are asking why Switzerland isn't investing in a much more obvious surface railway cargo system. The answer is that the current railway is already very dense, and both passager and cargo share the same tracks. There are already plans to extend the current railway system, but because of the shared mode, it is very complicated. And also because the terrain is very expensive (there are villages everywhere) and challenging (nothing is flat here, even the middle land), this project kind of make sense. Instead of boring big tunnels (that would be necessary to extend the current railway system) with all the safety measures, lets bore tiny tunnels where everything is automated.
