I live about 1/4 miles from the EJ+E railroad tracks in the southeast part of Aurora, IL. I am writing these comments in regard to the pending sale of EJ&E to the Canadian national Railroad. It is to my understanding that the Canadian National railroad wants increase traffic on the railway. This traffic is not wanted in the area I live. There are several reasons for this. One: the increase traffic will create a lot more noise in the area. Trains that come through now a very loud (especially at night). Second: There are several key road crossings in the area that will be severly impacted (Ogden Ave, Montgomery Rd., Keating Dr., Hafenrichter, Wolfs Crossing, etc...). An example already is yesterday at the Wolfs Crossing crossing we sat for about 15 minutes on a train that was slowley passing through. times this by increase traffic and you can see where I am going with this. I beleive this track is not designed to handle the traffic the Canadian Railroad wants to put on it. Please evaluate this plan and talk to local residents about this sale. It is not welcomed in the communities surrounding these tracks. Thank you
