I thinks this train line will have very bad environmental effects on the land it will be going thru, the air and land are so clean out here I moved away from the city to RAISE MY 4 YOUNG CHILDREN. this unwanted rail way will go less then 0.5 miles from my front door. not only will I now have to worry about my kids breathing in all the pollution but the noise will keep up the babies. what about the affect it will have on the ground water we are all on well now I will have to worry about what my kids will be drinking?? what about my people gardens to help feed their own families don't you thing all the rail dust will just pollute there food. now look at the long term how many people will be eating all this tainted food and now will be chronically sick. also there is miles of corn and bean fields by me that will all ne destroyed from this wont all this be tainted too now what about the livestock they feed with corn wont that all be sick and transferring to the people that eat it. there is so many long term effects on society. this train will be going over major rivers.. what happens if it derails this would be tragic. THEY KEEP TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY WANT THE TOXIC STUFF OUT OF CITY TO KEEP IT AWAY FROM PEOPLE. well I don't think running it thru some ones front yard will be keeping it away. if they keep building all over the farm land there will be no more left. like I said this will be very bad for the environment down on the farm. people moved out here to raise they livestock, farm and have a family in piece this will take that all away from them. thanks for reading this please just think if this was going thru you yard how you would feel? if you whole life you were a farmer and this is all you family did for years.. now its all going to be ruined
