So true, I believe creation of the interstate hwy system was one of the enablers to the degrading of the transit by rail mentality. Why support the more communal mind-set of rail transit at the expense of the individualistic mind-set of the automobile; which is more in line with the American ethos. For as woeful as Ohio rail system, is in my opinion, its highway system (despite the potholes and overall quality of the roadway) is very good. Your not going to get people to leave the highways for rail. You can drive to Columbus, but you cant take a train to Columbus.
