Line-storm, the second boring machine, has an automated process for placing the concrete.

But the real key is the ability of the machine to simultaneously mine and install the reinforcement segments, something the next-generation Line Storm will be able to do.

The billionaire will offer ten lucky fans a shot at touring the Boring Company tunnel in Hawthorne, California, where they'll even be given a chance to drive one of the company's machines (no word on if it'll be Godot or Line-Storm).

The Boring Company, Elon Musk's third or fourth company (who can keep track) is nearly ready to double its tunnel digging capacity: The venture's second boring machine is "almost ready" according to Musk, and it'll be named 'Line-Storm,' borrowing its name from a poem by Robert Frost.

The next step for The Boring Company is to develop its next-generation boring machine, the Line Storm (reference to a Robert Frost poem) and eventually Prufrock, which will deliver a 15-fold cost savings to current technologies, said Musk, who noted that 15 percent of overall tunnel cost is dirt removal.

Spring 1985. Indeed, published in Heinemann's "Banana Book" line, Storm may be considered the first book for early readers to win the Carnegie Medal.

There are also a few stone, frame and log structures. Local architect E.C.W. Jacobs designed a couple of buildings in the district, notably: First National Bank (1863), Town Hall and Jail (1874), and 128-134 Main Street (1880s). Three buildings are individually listed on the National Register: the American House (1854), the Joseph "Diamond Jo" Reynolds Office Building and House (1885), and the Goedert Meat Market (1890). Market Square, a park, is the contributing site, and the main line storm sewer is the contributing structure.

Other projects include a San Francisco to Los Angeles Hyperloop and a Texas Hyperloop, which are planned for a later stage. In July 2017, Musk uploaded a video depicting a successful test of a prototype car elevator. In October, Musk revealed the second TBM is named Line-storm, named after the Robert Frost poem “A Line-Storm Song”. Elon Musk during the inauguration of the test tunnel in Hawthorne, California In November 2017, Musk stated that The Boring Company would respond to a Request for Quotation (RFQ) from the Chicago Infrastructure Trust and the City of Chicago to "design, build, finance, operate and maintain an express service through a public-private partnership" from O'Hare International Airport to downtown Chicago. By March 2018, the company had been selected as one of two finalists in the competition. In March 2018, Elon Musk announced that the company would readjust its plan to prioritize pedestrians and cyclists over cars; cars would only be considered for transport after all other "personalized mass transit needs" were met. In June 2018, Chicago selected Musk's company from four competing bids to provide high-speed transportation between downtown and the airport.
