I think that Giovanni Zito*'s plan is to drill into the core in order to spark volcanic eruptions that will destroy his enemies. The "train tunnel through the center of the Earth" thing is a cover story for that plan. How he plans to direct the volcanoes to his enemies, who his enemies are, and why he drills one big hole into the core instead of a bunch of little holes into the lithosphere are anyone's guess.
*In case you don't know, Zito is a famous philanthropist/environmentalist who showed up in AF canon. He was involved in an antagonist's plan to drill a hole into the fairy outpost in the Earth's core and expose it to humans, but was under fairy mind control the entire time. Once his free will was restored, he kind of dropped off the map, but one line later on mentioned that he and Artemis Fowl are on speaking terms.
