As you can see we are spending hour researching this and loosing lots of sleep. The impact this proposal would have goes much deeper. We also own a land in Boone County. My husbands nursery business is there. The route he takes back and forth to work, multiple times a day would be gone or a complete mess. With the train traffic Frank is talking about my husband would have to cross the track 3 times in order to get to work. Then 3 times to get home. And this happens multiple times a day. What a complete mess and nightmare. I have been a trauma orthopedic nurse in the operating room at Mercy Rockford Hospital for 20 years this year. I take call. Our farm now is just at my 30 minute limit to get to work when I get called in. I have to leave immediately to make it on time. I would have to cross train tracks in my driveway that would be gone and a mile down the road-3 times. 3 times David within a mile. I can't be late when I get called in. The impact of our jobs is huge. I would loose my job of 20 years for an unnecessary track hailing toxic chemicals, that creates NO jobs in the area. The only person this impacts positively in any way is Frank. Not to mention our multi-million dollar farm would be worth nothing!!! Please add this to your impact study. Thanks Amy Nystrom Sent from my iPhone"
