Comment EI-19751
Received or sent (printed as 1/9/2013)
This proposed railroad is for the sole purpose of generating financial profit motives for its private developers, and has no relation to public necessity or to the public good as a whole. The proposed railroad has no relation to national energy independence -- any representation of national interest as being a motivation for the railroad is a complete, utter and transparent falsehood. It is not the role of the STB to authorize private interests to destroy the private lands of others, simply because the proponents cloak their arguments as being in the public interest. This is simply a scheme to profit through coal export, and destroy the private property rights of Montana landowners. STB: Wake up, and deny this railroad ripoff.
