Both were built in a canal bed-Cincy was built in the bed of the Ohio and Miami Canal
Both were built for streetcars
Both ran into then desirable neighboorhoods--Cincy Central Ave is boarderline and Rochester Lylle Ave is a distressed high crime area
Both have existing stations
Both were cut up by freeways
Rochesters did run but was never expanded
Cincys was completed but tracks never laid due to great depression
http://www.forgottenoh.com/subway.html shows that Cincy and Rochester used same contruction methods

Both have plans to revive it but nothing ever comes of it.
