The cost of this seems way too low. Considering all of the planning and extras going with this. Cosnidering that they're looking to go through Diomede (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Diomede,+Alaska+99762/@65.7582322,-168.956303,16z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x57319b5823a210bf:0x17a5670c369b0684!8m2!3d65.758235!4d-168.9519596 https://www.google.com/maps/place/Diomede,+Alaska+99762/@65....) I don't think that's too unreasonable for the underwater portion. It's a big long but with a project like this you have to go there. The other big factor here is going through Alaska.. a lot of that land just isn't developed (nor does a lot of it have mobile signal. Consider what will happen if a train breaks down along the way) Getting the US, CA, etc to go along with this in it's self is just too much of a stretch. CA is not fitted for high speed rail tracks. (Their train network resemebles that of Amtrak in it's current stage minus HSR) The US and Canada are unlikely to let Chinese developers to come in and mess with the rail here. (If they do that's a huge loss for riders and freight, because that would transfer ownership of the rails themselves) I'm guessing here: But it feels like another pro-China fluf piece to advertise their recent high speed rail networks. Or it could be a drive to get investors and then 'walk away'. Another wrench to throw into this: I doubt most people will spend 3d+ for this ride when a plane takes 14 hours. This will probably be used for freight.
