I liked the idea of making it a high speed railway inside the wall and making it transcontinental, throw some solar panels on it like potus said before and power the southern half of the US

This would be amazing. This is such a cool idea. Imagine how great our infrastructure would be if we didn't go to war and didn't have to babysit Mexicans and Somalians all damn day.

So kind like a Hyperloop along the border? Not sure if the cost benefit is there.

But a regular high speed train could be a nice thing, espceially since now a private organisation has a reason to watch that nobody fucks with the wall.

One thing about transcontinental travel is that it is expensive as shit and lot of businesses travel from the east to west coast, having an alternative to airplanes makes sense, even high speed rail about 220km/hr would suffice if there were only a half dozen or so stops.

The world doesn't need more overpriced government infrastructure projects.

If you want to build a railway line, build it where it's needed between major population centers, not some random bit of desert that just happens to be the point where burgers become tacos.

Also, what's with this fad for putting solar panels on everything? If you're going to all the expense of buying a solar generator, why not just put it on a flat piece of ground in nevada? It doesn't benefit from being on a road surface or a railway line.
