To be fair, Socrates envisioned the TV and Jules Verne hypothesized space travel, yet you don’t see people giving them credit for inventing those things
The vactrain proper was invented by Robert H. Goddard as a freshman at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in the United States in 1904. Goddard subsequently refined the idea in a 1906 short story called “The High-Speed Bet” which was summarized and published in a Scientific American editorial in 1909 called “The Limit of Rapid Transit”. Esther, his wife, was granted a US patent for the vactrain in 1950, five years after his death.
