I am completely against this railroad system destroying our rural communities and way of life for the profit of others. Not only will this destroy homes, farmland and resources, but it will also affect so many other things. NO ONE, wants 100+ trains going past their front door on a daily basis. NO ONE, wants to sees lakes, streams, creeks, rivers and other natural resources and habitats destroyed (especially in the Kankakee River area) NO ONE, wants to lose their home! NO ONE, wants to lose their farmland. This is eminent domain abuse to profit private investors and line the pockets of the rich. While the Illinois downstate farm communities get trampled on like usual. These farm communities are the backbone of America. Last I checked, the world wasn't producing any extra farmland and the population in the world continues to grow.... NO GLB RAILROAD
