Waste of time and money, we have planes to get us across the ocean and before that the ocean liners.

This suggestion is being seriously considered. One idea is a tunnel under the Bering Strait linking Russia with North America. A railway would be built through Alaska into Canada - see:- http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article1680121.ece
There have also been proposals for a Transatlantic tunnel - going back to Jules Verne. Other, more modern, ideas involve tunnels and 'island hopping' - Newfoundland - Greenland - Iceland - The Faroe Isles - Scotland thence linking into the European system.

Anything is possible with enough money, time, money, engineering skills and most importantly, MONEY! Of course, a project like this would cost several BILLIONS of dollars, for very little benefit. Airplanes and surface ships can easilly move pretty much anything you would want to transport across the Atlantic ocean.

Why not?
I understand Union Pacific is exploring the possibility of inaugurating twice daily service to the sun.
At first upper management scoffed, but any misgivings were allayed when it became known that service will be provided by trains running exclusively during hours of darkness, due to high day time temperatures.

Certainly; underwater! They have that under the British channel tunnel; another in Japan; one across the Chesapeake Bay. Just a hop, skip, and a jump across the narrowest places.

Well, yes it is possible, but it wont happen.
I am assuming you are asking as a rhetorical question?
It is possible but not in the least likely.

sure, but they would have needed people with gills to ride in it since the tracks would have to go along the bottom of the ocean. it would probably move really slow too.

They already have. But the ocean flooded and ruined the whole damn thing.

It is possible, but the bridge would be really expensive and interfere with ships and whales.
Get real!
