Some train journeys feel like they take forever -
especially when there are numerous transfers and waits in between flights and trains. But what if you could board a train in Madras, India and travel to Boston with no changes?
One man has imagined the world as a giant London Underground map where people can travel freely between countries and traverse vast bodies of water from the comfort of their seat while vehicles speed through vast tunnels.
While his dream is currently ‘impossible’, engineers are constantly trying to develop new ways to connect countries.

Past Calais it’s all wogs.
I’m sure this will all be self-funded.
Sounds like fun! I’ll ride it after they find a solution for the Muslim problem. Spend a trillion dollars, only to have some inbred jihadist make a mess.
But they're not thinking outside the box. They should go through the center of the earth or use tesseracts.
I hope I’m dead long before they even start on such a project!
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
Get your ticket to that wheel in space
While there's time
The fix is in
You'll be a witness to that game of chance in the sky
You know we've got to win
Here at home we'll play in the city
Powered by the sun
Perfect weather for a streamlined world
There'll be spandex jackets one for everyone
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
On that train all graphite and glitter
Undersea by rail
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
(more leisure for artists everywhere)
A just machine to make big decisions
Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision
We'll be clean when their work is done
We'll be eternally free yes and eternally young
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free

Its called ‘fly-over country’ for a reason. All you yahoos stay the heck away!
Eventually, it will only go in one direction.
Thread needs Willie Green.
Lol!
Choo-choo Willy with his grand plan to have daddy gubmint force everyone to use light rail to get around.
That's what we need. Just don't put them in your house. Someone drunk dialing could teleport in.

I think so.
Imagine drunk dialing your ex using those.
Oopsies.
Yeah... outside the house...

“Wait..this is smudged. Is that a slanted 8 or a blobby 9?”
*zwoosh*shrieks*ack!*
Wrong numbers would be even better.
Oh good. Make it easier for the Muslims to move terror around.
Good. I’m still in flyover or flyby or drive past country.
Big deal, the guy can draw an underground map.
Willie Green's nipples just exploded.
The guy has a bias for pretty 45 degree angles and perfectly radiused round corners that caused him to miss entire sections of the United States, but he still needed to rearrange geography fairly heavily to accomplish even that. He also hopscotched across every single little island in the Caribbean, but needed to take liberties with location there, too. Looks like Appalachia is the place to be on the east coast, lol, not a single city there, not even Knoxville, Asheville or the entire state of West Virginia.
