wakhan pipeline

How feasible 2would it be to build a pipeline or rail tunnel through the Wakhan corridor with 1935 technology. This is for a central Asian co-prosperity sphere. Japanese debate: Let's go north. No, Russia's too strong for now. "Let's go south." No, we would run into the Yanks and awaken a sleeping giant. Somebody thinks outside the box and says let's go west.

Well, looking from a technical side- IMO it would be impossible. Even today would it be hard. ( especially the tunnel ) The area is exceptionally seismologicaly active, with frequent and strong earthquakes.

Also, why would Japan want to build the pipeline there? All the oil in Persia is under British control? Also, Japan first has to take all of China to get there, and they couldn't do that in OTL...
