This ought to cover it all.
High speed rail from Capetown, South Africa north along Africa's East Coast across Gibraltar through Portugal, connecting with Western Europe's Network. Another route up the East Coast of Africa through Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Turkey and across Eastern Europe to also join up with Western Europe's network.
Connect Western Europe's network over to Moscow and East across Lower Asia to China. Branching from the Asia route northwest to Vladivostok, then north along coastal Siberia to the Bering Straits.
Across the straits on a new bridge or through a new tunnel, then across Alaska to Canada and down the North American West Coast to Link up with California's Network at Sacramento.
South from San Diego through Central America to South America at Bogota, Columbia then over to Rio and down to Buenos Aires.
It's probably a politically and economically impossible dream, but it is technologically possible to build such a network.
It could be possible someday to book a complete surface transportation trip from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Capetown, South Africa.
The key is a bridge across the Bering Straits. Hopefully, someday that will be a reality.
