Dear Ms. Rutson; As a resident of Wayne, IL, I am writing to express my strong opposition to CN Rail’s purchase of the EJ&E line. I am very concerned that my community will be facing significant issues related to public safety, environment, traffic gridlock, and emergency response times if this acquisition is approved. None of these issues are being adequately dealt with by the CN. I understand that the SRB is charged with the review and approval process for transactions of this type, and has its mandate to foster rail commerce. However, if your agency does not protect communities from the actions of the railroads, transactions like the one proposed by CN will devastate the viability and livability of villages and towns all along the rail line. Thank you. Jan Hewitt
