Regarding CNRC Acquisition of EJ&E RR Dear Sir or Madam, I live approximately 100 feet away from the trains and am very concerned about your planned increase from 10 to 40 trains a day. Have you considered the impact this would have on all the many people who live near the train on this long train route? The additional noise in our quiet communities, the eventual damage the vibrations could cause to our homes, the displacement of the wildlife who now have only very sparce areas to live in are all matters of grave concern to me and others in this community. Beyond that, the problems the increased trains blocking our roads at grade level are extremely troubling when we consider the problems this will cause to emergency vehicles, children in school buses, and people trying to get to work or to get home from work or trying to get about in their everyday lives. I think it is your responsibility to do a complete and thorough study of all these factors and others before you even consider this increase in trains and ask yourselves if this is something you want to do to the environment and all the people living along that corridor. Is this something you would want in your community - or 100 feet from your home?
