      It's fiction, but still a fun read: Harry Harrison's A Transatlantic Tunnel, Hurrah!

      In Which Our Hero, A Descendent of the Traitorous George Washington, Builds a Railway Under The Sea, Wherein Passengers Travel To The Court of Her Britannic Majesty In Atomic Powered Comfort.

      I'd like to put in a word for "A Transatlantic Tunnel, Hurrah!" a superb piece of speculative fiction and possibly the first Steampunk novel.

      (also more boringly called "Tunnel Through the Deeps")

      Harry Harrison covered this idea in “A Transatlantic Tunnel, Hurrah!” [1], which only had to compete with coal powered flying boats and nuclear trains.

      The book title A Transatlantic Tunnel, Hurrah! has stuck to my memory. It's a 1972 SF (alternate history branch) novel by Harry Harrison, featuring a vacuum/maglev system.

      More at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transatlantic_tunnel, including reference to Goddard patents on the subject.
