Well generally rails are needed with rails.  Well, unless the train can build it's own rail.

Ironbite-like the Denliner.

Does it count if the rail isn't an old fashioned metal railroad and instead it uses some sort of trail of beacons to stay on the track? Meaning that even though it would technically be a submarine it would only move on a preset track (there would need to be a justification for the tracks. Perhaps it is there also as means of powering the sea-train wirelessly so that there is no need for massive batteries?)

...Or maybe it is a sea-train because it has a powerful engine that pulls cargo-capsules like a train but it doesn't need rails at all?
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

I think I've solved the mystery. You see, there is need for very specific sort of sand, which can only be found at a certain point on the seabed. They found the best way to extract it long term was an automated rail loop where driverless vehicles would reach the site, scoop up a full load and return to shore, where it would empty itself and the whole process would repeat. Unfortunately, being submersed in seawater all the time, maintaining and replacing these rails gets very expensive, and so the Prime Minister was lamenting the fact that a similar automated underwater digging set up that lacks rails does not exist.

What do they need this for in the first place, I hear you ask? Why, that's simple. A member of his very own cabinet (I assume) pledged to build the best sand castle in the galaxy, so naturally only the very best sand in the galaxy will suffice.

You are getting too good at this Art for you not to make it your career.

The sheer existential horror of the "lives" system in video games honestly hadn't occurred to me before reading that.

I think we can retire this joke now. It's not like anyone can top this:

...right up until it comes out that Trump is also using a personal e-mail account for official business. (Which I would be utterly unsurprised to learn that he is--in fact, I'd be completely unsurprised if this already has come out and I've just forgotten about it because of the billion-and-one other scandals he's involved in.)

He is using a civilian phone that can be hacked easily, because he refuses to use the official phone that was actually built and modified to be used by the president. This is well documented.

Have the Republicans or the "buttery males" crowd said a thing about that breach in security protocols?

I'd advise against taunting Beerus-sama like that.
