No, the GP meant to reduce the ships sizes until it's viable.
TBH, I have no idea how a rail compares to a canal in terms of terrain pressure and building viability. Without further information, it's a promising alternative that is very obviously limited by the (area) density of those ships, but obviously a major investment. Somehow, the ship is able to sustain its weight, so it's not an absurd idea, but they can just barely sustain it, so it's only a just barely not absurd of an idea.
move the hyperloop to panama, scale it up. rails are strong, they can hold 24000 shipping containers. we'll accelerate the steel ships with magnets to incredible speeds and global efficiency will skyrocket.
