    What is the purpose of this tunnel? Seems like 2 random towns being connected.

    The route that is getting replaced went through many small towns in would-be peaceful valleys.

    $12.5B so that Swiss in small mountain villages don't have to hear the whistle and rumble of a train?

    Meanwhile Guatemala has no trains at all because they don't have the millions (not billions) it would take for maintenance capex.
