I am opposed to the Great Lakes Basin Railroad proposal, and you should be too. This line will increase pollution in the area, spoiling the quality of life for the residents. The trains will force many farmers to move their equipment on busy roads, instead of the less traveled ones they currently use, this will increase local traffic and congestion. Farmers who's fields are cut in two by this track will be forced to travel miles to find a railroad crossing. greatly impacting their livelihood, increasing congestion, and increasing traffic pollution.
