India is getting its first bullet train, which will link up Mumbai with Ahmedabad and include a stint below sea level. In other words, in the first bullet train of the country, the passengers will be able to experience the thrill of riding under the sea while traveling between Mumbai and Ahmedabad. A senior Railway Ministry official involved with the public transporter’s ambitious bullet train project said that the 508 km long Mumbai-Ahmedabad high speed rail corridor will have a 21 km long tunnel under the sea. While most part of the corridor is proposed to be on the elevated track, the under-the-sea stretch will lie near the Thane creek towards Virar, according to reports.
