In rural Northwest Ohio, it is "rail", however my cousins in Toledo pronounce it "roll". We always said it was because those "city folks" weren't able to see the connection. After all Kroehler furniture, (Look closely, it is kROEHLer) was always pronounced 'Krailer" in the TV ads. My dad was working as a watchman at a local factory years ago, and the Roehl truck driver assured him that it was indeed "Rail".
