Mr. Navecky, I am writing in opposition of the GLB railroad. I am unsure of the need for the GLB railroad to acquire 200 ft of right away. This proposed railroad will go through family land. The rail line needs no more than 50 ft to run a single rail line through property. A farmer would be less affected if their land is not cut into triangular pieces. The GLB needs to find a way to reduce the farmland monopolized by this project by trying to travel north/south rather than weaving at angles that make farming difficult. Like I've said above, the GLB railroad should be requesting much smaller amounts of right away. They should be finding ways to avoid crossing field at angles which would reduce the amount of farmland used. Please look into my suggestions. Thanks, Brian Hall
