It's already mapped on OpenStreetMap as under construction so it's visible as a dashed pink line on OpenRailwayMap: https://www.openrailwaymap.org/?style=standard&lat=46.53991223176021&lon=6.5935564041137695&zoom=14

Holy crap TIL about open railway map. Thanks, I always was annoyed how google showed highways and not railways when you zoom out.

I mostly like the "maximum speeds" view!

Historically it's not the first. Lausanne had an extensive network back in the days. It even went deep in the countryside and carried freight.

People can still see tram tracks at Moudon train station.
