Ich habe mich seit einiger Zeit darüber gefragt, vielleicht weiß jemand hier? Die Matterhorn -Drei -Railway verbindet Zermatt mit Brig (Canton Valais), Andermatt (Canton URI) und Disentis/Muster (Kantongrisons). In den 1980er Jahren bauten sie einen Eisenbahntunnel unter dem Furka -Pass zwischen Valais und URI

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/furka_base_tunnel
Aber seitdem haben sie nie einen weiteren Eisenbahntunnel unter dem Oberalppass gebaut, der zwischen URI und Grisons/Graubünden liegt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/oberalp_pass
Warum?
Wenn Sie diesen Zug eines Tages mitgenommen haben, gibt es Karten im Zug der Eisenbahn, und es hat mich immer so seltsam, dass ein Pass einen Tunnel hat, während der andere nicht der Fall ist, während beide Bergpässe sind, bei denen ein Tunnel nützlich wäre
Matterhorn Gotthard Railway: why is there a railway tunnel below Furka pass (Valais – Uri), but not below Oberalp pass (Uri – Grisons)?

The rail line on the Oberalppass is open year-round, something that wasn’t possible on Furkapass. That’s probably the main reason.
Simple: the Oberalp Pass could be made safe for Winter operation. The 318 Million CHF price Tag was originally Set lower, and the Tunnel also has a branch to the south, for Strategic reasons.
Such costs were Not justifiable for the Oberalppass which would only have brought time savings.
There was an idea onece, to have a whole tunnel network at 1500m above sea level, with Furka, an extension from the furka tunnel to Ticino, the Grimsel tunnel and an Oberalp tunnel.
But the only one with an actual use was the Furka tunnel, and after it overrun the budget the other ideas where dropped.
The Furka line was never possible to make it save in winter. To many avalanche slopes, zo expensive.
The Oberalp line was prepared for all year operation in 1941.
Also,no one lives along the furka line, nor was there any ski operations there.
The Oberalp had Ski trains to Näschen since 1931 and gained much popularity
So quite a bit would be los in a tunnel
From the article on the Furka Base Tunnel:
>Prior to its construction, all traffic had to use the historic high-level route via the 1.8 km (1.1 mi) long [Furka Summit Tunnel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furka_Summit_Tunnel), which was only available seasonally due to the threat posed by heavy snowfalls.
The oberalp pass could be made ready to be used in winter:
>Die Strecke über den Oberalppass wurde wintersicher ausgebaut, der Furkapass wird mit einem Basistunnel unterquert.
