People move to the country because it is beautiful, peace and quiet or they are farmers and it there way of life. We moved here to enjoy nature and sunsets. If we wanted to move by noisy trains and devalued property we would have moved north. Seems like the small towns keep trying to grow and then something like this comes along and stops any growth. Truly don't understand why the decision was made to go thru peoples property versus along a major highway all the way where there is already noise and possible tracks from trains in the past. Very concerned about property value and how it changes our scenery our life! Pick a better route that isn't in peoples yards, there are so many trains and tracks already pick one of those to partner with. Strongly opposed!
