I've heard of the "3C," but this seems a little more extensive. Has anyone heard about this?

The Ohio Rail Development Commission is trying to bring passenger rail to Ohio. Currently there is no passenger rail servicing Columbus but under the proposed plan the City could become the second hub for the system after Cincy. The four major and three secondary discussed routes include:
Cleveland-Columbus-Dayton-Cincinnati
Cleveland-Toledo-Detroit via the “preferred†route serving Detroit Metro Airport
Cleveland-Pittsburgh via the “preferred†route serving Youngstown
Cleveland-Erie-Buffalo-Niagara Falls-Toronto
Columbus-Pittsburgh via the “Panhandle†route
Columbus-Toledo with through service continuing on to Detroit
Columbus-Lima-Fort Wayne with through service continuing on to Chicago
In order to help push for passenger rail in Ohio, contact your city council/development department to encourage them to pass a resolution in support of the federal government funding an Environmental Impact Statement. Twenty-five communities and organizations have already passed such a resolution with the City of Gahanna currently discussing such a possibility.
