The 3C was going to hit 79MPH but average about 40MPH.

The basic case against the 3C line: that the trains will be relatively slow (averaging 39 miles an hour, when you figure in stops)

The basic case against the 3C line was that there is little or no traffic outside the immediate vicinities of the cities themselves. It essentially follows I-71, which is mostly used by trucks. I have driven it many times (over many years) and been struck at how few cars I see, as opposed to convoys of trucks one after the other. If the trucking companies want to use the RR, CSX will be happy to accommodate them already.
