FD 35952 · GREAT LAKES BASIN TRANSPORTATION, INC.-RAIL CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION-IN ROCK COUNTY, WISC., WINNEBAGO, OGLE, LEE, LASALLE, GRUNDY, AND KANKAKEE COUNTIES, ILL., AND LAKE AND PORTER COUNTIES, IND.

Comment EI-22217

Received or sent (printed as 4/22/2016)

Two concerns to share regarding proposed rail line through Porter County, Indiana: 1) Tracks will consume property that brings revenue to our non-profit agency. A one-time buyout will not replace the money we have relied on for sixty years. 2) The tracks will be only a tenth of a mile from our campus homes. Besides the noise factor due to that proximity, I am concerned one of our troubled teen residents will attempt to jump a train in order to runaway, and be seriously injured or killed. Not an issue anyone would like to see in the media.
