Comment EI-19443

Regarding above mentioned docket#; I am very concerned about the impact of long coal trains traveling to the coast with the sole purpose of providing one company, Arch Coal, with a means of selling it's toxic product to China. Properties all along this line will be devalued due to the filth spewed by long, noisy trains which will stall regular and emergency vehicles for long periods. The noise of the greatly increased number of trains per day will disrupt every aspect of life along the railroad. The increased potential for flooding along the new easements is of great concern. Coal needs to stay IN THE GROUND if we are to survive as a species. Granting permits to companies to dig us deeper into the hole in which we are standing is insanity.
