The tracks are here to stay and the underpasses ought to be so much better functionally, structurally and aesthetically.

How much would it cost to move the railway underground? (I know, I know - billions and billions). I wonder if there's ever been a study on it, like there was for the LRT going underground. They go on a long, straight run, just perfect for a tunnel...
