ferrocarril marítimo
Explanation:
Heading southward, the train first hits the railway, boards a ship, and then disembarks to reconnect with the rail network after less than an hour at sea.

To the north and south of the strait, platforms have been built, which can be adjusted in height and location to allow the seamless motion from rail to sea.

Si se refiere al existente, tu comentario es pertinente, pero si es lo que muestra el enlace (un tren que pasa por un túnel submarino) que conecta, precisamente, el continente con Haina, tren submarino me parece apropiado.
