Anyone else excited about the idea of being able to take a train to Cincinnati or Columbus? This article is a nice Q&A about the future train:Questions and answers on Ohio's passenger train - Examiner.com

My concerns are that the stops won't be anywhere near where I would like to patron and that it will end up being more of a hassle than driving. Also, the Q&A says it would take 6.5 hours to go from Cincinnati to Cleveland. That's about 2.5 hours longer than it would take me to drive there. I'm assuming that will be at the 79MPH the initial train will go. Personally, I don't have much use for going to Cleveland. However, giving the right circumstances, I would take a train to Cincinnati or Columbus. $18 bucks is worth it to avoid the traffic jams and parking fees associated with going to a Reds or Bengals game.

This train is a great idea. I would probably visit Cincy and Columbus more if I didn't have to drive (They are really boring, congested drives). I certainly hope the bureaucrats don't screw it up. It could be a huge waste of money if the stops are in retarded places and the travel times are over extended.
