There is no direct line from Kenton to Lima. They would either have to rebuild the old Erie from Kenton to Lima or put in a transfer from CSX to CFER at Dunkirk.

I also find it humorous that they think it will be profitable. Passenger rail is never profitable. Costs are just too high. That’s why all the major railroads stopped passenger service decades ago. Without heavy government subsidy, this would fail miserably. Government money is why the system in Europe works so well.

Ideally, this would be great, but it will fail. It just isn’t practical.
