I would like to register my personal experiences in result of the train traffic going through the current EJ&E train track. From my house there are 4 at grade level crossings to cross the train track. When we go to my mosque across the track, we get stopped right when it is important to attend the prayer. Even worse on few occasions, long trains completely stopped on the tracks leaving us no choice but turnaround drive about 5 miles north to cross at the McCoy drive. Also during the night, the train whistles so much, we get awaken many times. We are disturbed enough to close our windows even during summer nights and force to run our air-conditioner. Unless the separation of track and road implemented at Keating Drive crossing, and also made sure the trains not whistle at Hafenrichter Road and Keating Dr. crossings, the life would become much more difficult for us. Please add these two as pre-requirement before allowing this acquisition go through. Thank You.
