I have for the last few months been following Elon Musk on his "Hyperloop" idea. Its a great idea to add a 5th mode of transport (currently we travel by Road, Air, Water and Trains). He yesterday finally talked about it as seen below
http://www.businessweek....-explains-the-hyperloop
this is his blog on the same
http://www.teslamotors.com/blog/hyperloop
If its 1/5 cheaper than building a freeway. Why not have the same tech doing bulk transport of goods too? ET3 also hopes to do the same over evacuated tubes - think about Propelling cargo at 8000 km/h in vacuo levitated using maglev!
For some background info.

the hyperloop is quite interesting. seen some discussions online.
we can only wait and see how it is commercially implemented.
Life is joy, death is peace, but the transition is very difficult.

I like that line of thought.Even if people don't accept it as a means of transport now,when it comes to goods it should be an interesting development.
