Ohio to be a Part of Midwest Passenger Rail?

Is this a high likelihood? It only seems to encompass northern Ohio. It's hard to tell from the map if this is new or existing passenger rail such as Amtrak.

America by Rail of Ohio(Michigan), since the original photo for America by Rail of Michigan was actually a Beard photo taken in Ohio?
I would say this thread will help, but it's still hard to understand: viewtopic.php?t=10876

The big question is if a 3-C or a Columbus to Chicago corridor is even viable...with ODOT spending hundreds of millions on interstate improvements and the rather resistant nature of the freight lines they would have to operate on, I'd say any big passenger rail expansion will be decades away...
