[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by daveklepper Why stop with Alaska? How about a Bearing Strait Tunnel and a rail link to now non-Communist Russia and thus a USA - Europe rail link, rather round about, but something to think about. Dave Klepper [/quote] When talking about a rail link to Russia, we first need to consider two things. First, we will need to lay a new line through Alaska, about 300 miles. Then, even if the tunnel is built, what's next? The closest mainline to where the line that will come ashore in Russia is about 2000 miles away. 2000 miles of rugged mountainous terrain, wich will cost a lot more than the proposed Alaska link. The cities on the other side of the Bering Strait are not even connected to main cities in Russia (about 2500 miles south, where i was born) by a road network, airplane is the only way of getting there.
