Nope.. just crazy talk, but I am sure it has been
talked about.. doesn't men there has been any serious consideration... unless maybe if it is a MagLev train that needs no track.. Now THAT would be innovative.

Most of JFK is built on former swamp. No matter how they tried to engineer the tunnels it was a giant nightmare and as you mentioned way beyond anything they could consider cost effective. Terminal 8 in JFK is the new focus. It would work perfect for us.
