Yep, habshi seems to ignore the fact that the early crews who laid railroad
tracks across the continent had to detour around certain obstacles, and
those tracks were ON the surface, not 200 feet down. I wonder if habshi
recalls the difficulties the crews in new york ran into laying subway
tunnels under the city, much less the whole continent.
