      Uh. Buddy. They absolutely are known for building a shitload of trains. There’s the Gottard, which is the longest tunnel through a mountain, and I think also the steepest railtracks in the world?

      You’ve never heard of swiss trains always being on time?

        Japanese trains being on time. Never heard of swiss.

        Haven’t heard if their engineering prestige.

        When I think swiss I think corruption and chocolate. Maybe watch makers too. Apologies

          Well if you’ve never heard of it, then you must be right. Or it could be that maybe you have no clue what you’re talking about. No that couldn’t be it.

          It blows my mind that you’ve never heard of Swiss engineering, but I guess the whole world is wrong since you’re clueless to it. Case closed.

          Knowing when to shut up and when to listen are valuable skills that a lot of people don’t have.

        Will the newly proposed tunnel under the Angeles National Forest break that record or because it’s under not through it’s in a different category?
