A rail that runs from South Africa to Chile across the Bering Strait and the Darien Gap

The post says bad ideas, this one doesn't count sorry

Bridging the Darien Gap would involve cutting a path through the middle of a rainforest. It would be quite bad for the forest.

Running a rail over the Bering Strait would be a pain to maintain, and a genuine disaster if something goes wrong.

Yeah, any megaproject that involves cutting through one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on earth is a very bad idea. It would be dope, but overall bad idea.
