Very concerned on safety issues that the acquisition would bring including: 1)hazardous materials transportation and lack of local resources to deal with a spill 2)close proximity to several of our schools 3)close proximity to high tension wires behind our homes - my backyard 4)Local condition of tracks & overpasses on LaGrange Road/Rt45 5)Traffic issues by crossings on main roads such as Wolf Rd. 5)Noise factor - the tracks are right behind our new homes!!!! Behind the high powered wires. That many trains would be devastating to our home environment. The few that go through now are loud and they don't blow their whistles and are few. If this goes through we will need sounds barriers through our backyards if approved. It's bad enough now we have to keep windows closed Spring-Fall due to the train noise.
