Greater East Asia Railroad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Greater East Asia Railroad (大東亜縦貫鉄道, Daitōa Jūkan Tetsudō) was an idea for a railroad linking Japan with the Asian mainland and Europe, formulated in 1938 during the Second Sino-Japanese War leading to World War II. Part of the plan included a tunnel or bridge somewhat similar to the more recent Japan–Korea Undersea Tunnel proposal.
