Not sure if anyone had mentioned this but news conference announced that Ohio would receive $400 million in transportation stimulus monies to build the Cleveland-Columbus-Dayton-Cincinnati corridor. Expected opening date is 2012?
Everyone who loves trains is still in a cloud but opposition is loud as well. Now where it will end up in Columbus is a question? Hope it will stop in Shelby or Crestline making it an easy ride for those of us in North Central Ohio. Reported it will not be a "high speed line" but with regular Amtrak locos at 69mph or close to it.
Some in Cleveland said it would be much quicker to take I-71 to Columbus than the expected 3 hour trip to Columbus on Amtrak. For me, what a nice leisurely ride in the countryside :lol:
And going to a Reds game on the train. Havent done that since 1970s. :lol:
Looks like the long awaited corridor train may become a reality.
Railroad Bill. Planning the next Amtrak adventure!!
