Comment EI-23173

Received or sent (printed as 6/1/2016)

Frank Patton of the GLB railroad indicates the estimate of 110 trains is too high, yet that is what his website says and his application, he is lying and telling people it is only going to be 10-15 trains per day. You can not trust him because he lies in public about the number of trains using the line and this should void any further consideration of this line. Since the President of GLB says that it will be 10-15 trains that is not enough to warrant the destruction of prime farmland and other natural ecosystems. GLB needs to tell the truth and since they are not this line needs voided and as a board you need to believe the lower number of trains, which makes the line completely unneeded.
