Gov. Ted Strickland made his pitch to federal officials yesterday for $400 million of the $8 billion in stimulus money designated for high-speed passenger rail service. He said the state would be economically adrift without it.
The money would more than cover the startup costs of a proposed rail system that would run through Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton and Cincinnati and take about six hours from start to finish. State officials envision the so-called 3C rail service, which would run slightly slower than a car moving at freeway speed, as the first step in developing much-faster rail service across the state.....
Just think of the possibilities for commuters, students, shoppers, business, and others! The creation of the service would help put people back to work and encourage development along the path of the train.
