China Daily has reported that China is planning to build a high-speed rail from China to the United States.
A tunnel from the Bering Straits to Alaska under the Pacific Ocean is the proposal.
If the Channel Tunnel is a “Chunnel” (the 50.5-kilometre rail tunnel linking the United Kingdom, with Coquelles, Pas-de-Calais, near Calais in northern France, beneath the English Channel), then is this is this Ocean Tunnel … an “Oceannel” of maybe Oceaunnel”?
Going off the rails of a gravity train! (get Ozzy on it!)

I would like to request a gravity train for antipodal point travel as long we’re talking about it…It was in Phillip Dick’s “We will Remember it For You Wholesale” and the 2012 Total Recall.

Oh sure, we are going to be left behind; this is just an opportunity to suck wealth out of the US through tourism or even cheaper/faster trade

I suppose “Trans Pacific Tunnel” is a viable title too (although I suspect that this one will not remain “theoretical” long): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transatlantic_tunnel
