quote [ Passengers might soon be able to travel from London to Tokyo on the Trans-Siberian railway via an 8,400 mile route, in an ambitious proposal by the Russian government. The project would involve constructing a 28-mile bridge that would allow trains to cross the East Sea. Beginning in London, the train would take travellers through the heart of Russia before concluding in Wakkanai, Japan. ]
What could possibly go wrong?
Related proposal: the Bering Strait crossing between Asia and the Americas.

While I seriously doubt the financial viability of such an endeavor, the adventurer in me really digs the idea. Of course, this could become some kind of Snowpiercer situation, which makes it even more intriguing.

If this happens I really hope some of that old soviet industrial design aesthetic is still alive. I'm thinking some gothic avant-garde monster with a huge plow on the front.
