This whole process overwhelms me as I am told that these comments carry a lot of weight on the final decision. However, many commenting live nowhere near the project and are very misinformed. I live within 100 yards of the prefered routes and have been told by the president of my bank that it will be just a minor inconvenience" for me. Naturally, I am biased and favor the eastern routes. My first letter to you, when this free-for-all first began, included a suggestion that you consider these other routes because I knew they were less intrusive on the more populated area of Quihi. Your latest draft has affirmed this fact. If this process is legitimate and the decision makers are thoughtful folks, no railroad will wind its way through the valley created by Quihi creek. Actually, no railroad is necessary close to a populated area. The Edwards geological formation, which houses the water we all depend on, includes millions of acres of limestone west of here.The Union pacific railroad runs thru it for one hundred miles, enough to supply Vulcan for years. I suggest no railroad at all in Quihi. Max Walden (830)741-3418"
