Fun fact: The Zurich-Munich electrification was paid by an interest-free loan by the Swiss confederacy, in order to finally saturate the North-South line from Germany to Italy that was heavily expanded in Switzerland.

The trains are still always delayed by 30 min because it’s single track on long stretches and delays always happen in the German and Austrian part of this line.

And the Basel-Karlsruhe line is still not finished.
