Comment EI-19709

Dear Mr. Blodgett, It is my impression that some anti energy development groups are doing mass E-mails to try to persuade the Surface Transportation Board to prohibit this railroad which would help us balance our trade with China. Assuming that this particular railroad would have to follow the same laws as other railroads, I would strongly encourage the board to look at the facts, not the emotions of those who are opposed to realistic development of our energy resources. This railroad could serve to create jobs in mining, construction and shipping, as well as the related jobs that come with the growth of these industries. I believe that China is going to import and burn coal. I think that we should capitalize on this opportunity, and not obstruct progress with un-needed regulation. Thank you John Francis, Cheyenne WY
