LOL! I didn't think of that when I read the original news item; that's funny! Yes, they're prototype, and of standard-guage TWO-rail tracks. (Shaking head, lips pressed tight together, with BIG GRIN on my face!)

I bet Kasich will be blowing his horn about the job creation when he gave away 8000 on the 3C corridor...

Doubt it - he'll probably try to defund the ORDC projects. The man is a genius - he has done something that I thought could never be done in the state of Ohio - he has actually made the previous 12 years of inept leadership by Teddy Strickland and Bob "Howdy Doody" Taft look GOOD.

The man is so anti rail, that after yanking ODOT funding failed to kill the Cincinnati Streetcar (aka the Thug Trolley), he torpedoed the casino gaming bill to stop construction of the Cincinnati casino so the city could not borrow against future tax revenues to proceed without ODOT's money. (Of cource I'm kidding....I hope)

And tell me again who Kasich worked for on Wall Street? Thanks for playing....
