The Cin-Day corridor is one of those locations where it almost makes too much sense to have commuter rail. Cincinnati and Dayton are only 50 miles apart, and there's a string of 30,000-60,000 pop. cities every ~15 miles all the way up to Lima. Most if not all of those small cities already have rail lines cutting through their downtowns and are reasonably economically healthy (Middletown is probably the weakest of the bunch in terms of downtown vitality). Of course, it was all served by interurbans back in the day so the corridor is basically already transit-oriented, just without the transit.
