I really like the idea that street cars, trains and subways could share a single network (kinda like they do in Tokyo, except Tokyo doesn't really have street cars, mostly trains - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KMYAEIXVzA).

It would allow trains to come from one direction, pass through the city undisturbed and emerge on the other side and continue.

Known as tram-trains, and an established model in Karlsruhe and Kassel, Germany.

The federal rail administration would never let this happen in the US
