A more recent incarnation of this, which I used to see promoted by pamphlets in SF is an international rail project pushed by the LaRouche PAC, with a long view towards a Bering Strait tunnel.
Re-visiting this idea at this specific moment is interesting. Partly it was presented as an investment in a cooperative relationship with Russia.
