LukeM.... The former PRR ROW between Columbus & Indianapolis (sadly) is pretty much gone. The Columbus suburb of Hilliard is built over a good protion of it, and the rest is a short bike trail. West of there, there are portions of the ROW still evident, but the tracks are long gone and much of the rural portions have been bulldozed over and are pushing up corn & soybeans. <br /> <br />Theorectically, it is still possible connect Indy & Columbus via Dayton or Cincinnat, but it's a bit out of the way. <br /> <br />cpbloom & cnw4001 ... I know several people who are heavily involved with the Ohio Hub Plan and they tell me that if a federal funding plan is created (which could happen with Senate Bill 1516), the initial trains on the Ohio Hub system could be up and running within two years. <br /> <br />BTW: ORDC just posted information on its website ( http://www.dot.state.oh.us/ohiorail ) about the additional route study. Click the "Ohio & Lake Erie Regional Rail / Ohio Hub" link. There is also a comment link that you can fill out and either e-mail or "snail mail" to ORDC.
