It would be nice for us. We could step out our back door, catch an Amtrak train to Cleveland or Cincinnati and ride down to Columbus for those OSU football games.
But in reality, outside the few of us who would ride for enjoyment, there would probably not be enough traffic to justify the huge cost of upgrading tracks or building new ones. :unsure:
I can see CSX jumping for joy to add Amtrak service to its Cleveland to Greenwich corridor--will not happen. And the tracks from Columbus to Cincy have been sold to a private independent rail line and maintenance is a real problem, even for them.
The governor has a great dream but that is all it will ever be.
