Mayors and planners across Ohio have shipped their passenger rail wish lists to the federal government.

• In a series of letters, officials said a top priority remains a "3C+D" line linking Columbus to Cleveland, Cincinnati and Dayton, with a possible connection to John Glenn International Airport.

Why it matters: This broad bipartisan support for Ohio Amtrak expansion at the local level could pressure state officials who have mostly stayed mum on the topic.

• The move also puts Ohio projects on the Federal Railroad Administration's radar for potential funding.

What's more: The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) also wants to help plan a "Midwest Connect" between Chicago, Columbus and Pittsburgh.

• Other possible Columbus routes include a corridor to Lancaster, Logan and Athens, plus one to Chillicothe and Portsmouth.
• The Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments, meanwhile, hopes to link the capital city and Detroit.

Of note: Columbus is the second-largest U.S. city without intercity rail, behind Phoenix.

Catch up quick: The bipartisan infrastructure bill President Biden signed into law last year included $66 billion for passenger rail expansion across the country.

• This spring, Gov. Mike DeWine asked the Ohio Rail Development Commission to analyze cost and feasibility but he has not expressed any opinions on the matter.

The latest: That review is still ongoing, DeWine spokesperson Dan Tierney tells Axios. He didn't provide details on whether DeWine, if reelected tomorrow, would support expansion in Ohio or if the state would apply for federal funds.

Yes, but: Rail enthusiasts are already dreaming of possibilities, especially after seeing these renderings of a proposed Greater Columbus Convention Center Amtrak station.

• In its letter, MORPC says it has received "tremendous feedback" from community members and public and private partners requesting passenger rail service return to the region.

Reality check: Some activists are feeling a bit of deja vu. Ohio was on track to receive federal funding toward a "3C line" in 2010 before then-Gov. John Kasich rejected the project.

• Stu Nicholson, executive director of the nonprofit advocacy group All Aboard Ohio, is hopeful for a different outcome this time.

"The support we have for this today is even greater than what we had 12 years ago," Nicholson tells Axios. "I think this is probably the best shot we've ever had."

Could this past weekend be the last time our clocks fall back?

The big picture: The federal Sunshine Protection Act would make daylight saving time permanent in 2023. It is currently waiting on approval in the House after the Senate passed it earlier this year.

Between the lines: Federal law does not allow permanent daylight saving time, so states cannot adopt changes without action from Congress.

Zoom in: Ohio House Concurrent Resolution 13 was introduced earlier last year urging Congress to pass the law.

• Ohio is one of at least 19 states to have passed resolutions or trigger laws to permanently make the switch.

Yes, but: A resolution is symbolic and simply communicates the legislature's support. It's not a bill and holds no power.

What we're watching: There have been many attempts to pass legislation to nix the time change throughout the years, so only time will tell if this will be our final fall back.

Tyler is back in the virtual office next week! In the meantime, here's another stop on his Franklin County Historical Marker Tour to tide us over.

Noble Landon was a bartender, innkeeper, judge, clerk, carpenter, postmaster and nearly 200 years ago planned out what is now the city of New Albany.

The marker: Founders of New Albany at 19 E. Main St., the site of Landon's tavern.

Flashback: The name likely comes from Landon's hometown of St. Albans, Vermont.

• He platted the city in 1837 with the help of William Yantis, a veteran of the War of 1812 who was once neighbors with Francis Scott Key.

The intrigue: Landon was many things, but later became one more: a religious teetotaler.

• He ordered all the city's whiskey kegs brought out to the streets and destroyed.
