Well John, Brunels atmospheric railway was similar in principle and the only problem was that the material used for the vacuum pipe either rotted or rats bit holes on it.

The basic principle beinghaving the power source at one particular location and distributing the means of propulsion.
In fact, with better technology which we now have, we could probably have another crack at it.
