That'd be hyper. What if you made it a loop? Or would it just be boring?

I think the vacuum thing he was going to try to do was pod based gadgetbahn train substitute? The earlier version of the "loop" thing was a rail guidance based thing. Two wonderful CG mockups for very bad ideas

Yeah, the Hyperloop. He also had """plans""" for a hyperport for transporting cargo

Brunel tried that in Cornwall. Mice ate the tube seals.

It's funny that these ideas have been tried as fancy new toys over and over again for so long I remember how the atmospheric railway in Ireland had a problem with rats eating the tallow mixture in the tubes and then... Becoming a mess when they turned the vacuum system on
