I was aware of its location; I just wasn't sure how you were connecting it to the terminals - I didn't realize you were bringing out the big guns (TBMs). Even with the tunnel boring, constructing a station next to the Hilton or the garage is yet another giant sub-project (do you have a specific idea there?). For less than all that money it seems like you could just construct a bunch of Blue Line bypasses, even if some had to be elevated, and leverage the airport's existing tunnels and station. But if you are aware of a Chinese supplier who can TBM for cheap, it may be a preferable solution.
