Largest Cities Without Rail Service

I've complied a list of the largest cities in the United States that lack medium or long-distance passenger rail service based on their size. I used the Amtrak network map and the Census estimates from 2008 to do this.

Name	Metro Size	Metro Rank
Phoenix, Arizona	4,281,899	12nd
Las Vegas, Nevada	1,865,746	30th
Columbus, Ohio	1,773,120	32nd
Nashville, Tennessee	1,550,733	38th
Louisville, Kentucky	1,244,696	42nd
Tulsa, Oklahoma	916,079	53rd
Dayton, Ohio	836,544	61st
Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania	808,210	62nd
Baton Rogue, Louisiana	770,037	67th
Knoxville, Tennessee	681,525	75th

As you can see, the Lehigh Valley is the 8th biggest metropolitan area without passenger rail service.
