Practical notes

  • Ohio coverage is still selective rather than exhaustive
  • Toledo, Cleveland, and Oberlin should each carry different kinds of stop weight instead of competing for the same role
  • the new western-entry and Cleveland-side segments make the Ohio corridor read more continuously from west to east
  • use the weekend pages when you want the quickest practical entry into the state without planning every segment from scratch
