    The Tallinn - Helsinki is projected as a continuity og the Rail Baltica project so It should definitely happen at some point.
    My 3 dream Urban News would be :
    1- A megaproject for a National Bicycle Network in France, promoting Intercity Travel
    2- A big national plan to implement high speed rail in Denmark as well as massive upgrade on smaller regional lines.
    3- A plan to implement a cheap and efficient European night train network between important cities

    My personal dream Urban News is more of what I wish would happen with transit in my city:
    - Modernisation of Caracas Metro's first 6 series of trains, except for one S1 train which will be preserved as a historical train and used for presentations every so often
    - Recovery of Caracas Metro's decaying rail tracks and bus routes
    - Finalisation of Metro Guarenas Guatire, Caracas Metro's Line 4 extension, and Metro Los Teques extension, and construction of Lines 5 and 6
    - Construction of an RER-like system in parallel to Caracas Metro, to decrease travel times, future-proof the system, and further reduce congestion (which the projects above already would, but would also induce a bit more demand because it's gonna have more coverage)
    - Construction of a national rail network in Venezuela, that also connected with the three Guianas, and with Colombia
    this is likely never gonna happen though

    As much as I love the trans-andean HSR, the route you proposed is too unrealistic; if it were to actually happen, it would NOT go through Santiago, Córdoba, or Rosario, rather, it'd probably jse the General San Martín National Railroad's route, be it its historic route (which passed throu San Luis capital) or its current one, and would have to go deep underground on Mendoza to avoid the city and its conurbation, so it would have to connect with the Metrotram at some point to allow passengers to get to the mendozan city center.
    To get to Rosario and Córdoba, you'd have to make the General Bartolomé Mitre National Railroad high speed, as it's broad (indian (1676mm)) gauge, as opposed to the General Manuel Belgrano National Railroad, which is meter gauge, which leads us to the next problem: it leads to more places, such as Salta via Córdoba and Tucumán, and is very much used for cargo, so we're out of luck, which means we either have to regauge the whole thing, or we have to build new infrastructure.

    Electrification between Laurila, Finland and Haparanda, Sweden has recently been completed. While the track gauge is different, this should allow for passenger services from one country to the other with an across station transfer at Haparanda. However, as far as I know, no new pasesenger service has been announced yet.

    well the transandean tunnel exists and it served as a railway for about 70 years up until 1984, now if u wanted to go from santiago to buenos aires u had to make 2 tranfers in los andes (chile) and then in mendoza(arg) because of 3 different gauges , now in the chilean side it still runs as a freight line , in the argetina side sadly part of it was dismantled but theres an association trying to rescue and mantain that railtrack, althought theres been good intentions from both countries its very unlikely that it gets restored by the side of the goverments considering argentina hasnt even paved plenty of border pass roads less likely they are gonna built a whole railway , hopefully one day closer than later............

    Fictional news I'd love to see for the US (and a bit of Canada) would be true High Speed train service between Atlanta, Georgia & Boston, Massachusetts with stops at the obvious cities in between. Perhaps with an expansion across the border to Montreal on the way. High Speed Rail between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, with expansion to Detroit and Chicago in the works. Passenger train service restored to Bangor, Maine then through to Saint John and Moncton, New Brunswick.
    I'd also love to see expanded congestion pricing in New York City, then Boston, Washington DC, Chicago, Philadelphia, and San Francisco.
    And pipe dream of pipe dreams, I'd love to see a return of the DC Streetcar. Finally finishing the H Street line, but also adding a line from Foggy Bottom to the Georgetown campus via M Street, and at least one North-South line between the Downtown and Silver Spring, probably along the 7th St/Georgia Ave bus corridor (the most used bus route in the system). There are some corridors in the city that aren't super well served by Metro, and for which the bus simply isn't enough. Not to mention M St in Georgetown needs to have major traffic calming and reduction, and a streetcar with a dedicated lane could help.

    I hope the Messina bridge will not get built anytime soon for 2 reasons:
    - It has been a vanity project of the right ever since
    - Transit wise it would only increase car traffic and put more strain on road infrastructure on both sides. Cargo is being shipped way more efficiently anyways by large ships between Sicily and the different places in main land Italy. Furthermore the first thing they would cut is the rail connection because the car brained government doesn't like trains.

    I was particularly interested in the new tram line of Fake London, especially as they apparently renovate the whole street Barcelona style.
    Where did you get the render? I'm asking as I've never heard of a plan to extend the tram to Avinguda del Marquès de l'Argentera - which will definitely benefit from this. It's a short street but too wide and not very pleasant and this could also revive the train station there - which is the only old at grade station in the classic style. It's a beautiful station but with low usage and requires renovation.

It doesn't matter that we have the population to support it, the railfans need to take electoral politics 101 to add some breadth of knowledge to any analysis.
