Comment EI-22202

Received or sent (printed as 4/21/2016)

I flat out refuse to have my quiet rural serenity disrupted by 110 trains a day thundering next to my home. My property value will plummet. My peace will vanish. My environment is jeopardized by all manner of cargo. We live in the middle of nowhere for the very reason of avoiding the chaos and noise this railroad will bring. This cuts off my direct route to the only hospital available. Rerouting to avoid being caught by a train the crossing would cost 10 minutes in an already 20 minute trip to the hospital. This is unacceptable. The very idea of disrupting our quiet lives is unacceptable. Please do the right thing and refuse this railroad. This will destroy lives, homes, and family farms.
