Oh come on Pach, a tunnel? Be MOAR creative!

Well here's the thing, it's supposed to stretch 3-4km south from Sirach.

Every 10 tiles, railroad pressure plates, boosters, torches, and redstone torches take a space (image does not reflect proper spacing).

Theme: Highspeed Utilitarian Transport (don't even remark on that, I already know that's the very definition of warping)

Resource estimates for 4km tunnel:
*denotes optional additions

[1.0]:
800 rail boosters
800 rail pressure plates
6400 rail
1600 torches

*[1.1]:
800 redstone torches
8500 redstone dust
4000 glass

*[1.2]:
400 sticky pistons
400 glowstone
200 signs (for bridges)
4500 redstone dust

Scariest part of the whole project:
484000 blocks to mine (for 1.0)

Questions? Comments? Objections?

What's that, you require negative blocks? If you insist....

Hey hey now. This highway is going to run through someone's backyard. I hope you have zoning permits

Hah! Actually Pachua already applied for a building permit, and is safely complying with the greenbelt laws surrounding Minecraftia national parks.

Zaneo: Haha, was hoping the 484000 blocks of stone to be mined counted as 484000 blocks BUILT, because of the effort to get it out of the way. So much you can do with that much stone plus the amount won back. I'll understand if you think that's ludicrous.

Nozstik: Permits attained from Doozy. Hopefully I don't run into anyone's random underground construct.

Devov: Extortion! Extortion! The tunnel will not pierce the surface, it's way too far underground to do that. But yeah, I'd get scared too if something random was coming my way and I didn't know anything about it :C

Doozy: Thanks for the permit!

We will see what we can work out. Are you going to need tracks, or lighting, Redstone, etc.
