I would like to say that this line is bad for the social environment of the area, it has made many people upset. it has raised hopes of jobs we all know will not come, because trains are not new and any business wanting to be by a train would have built by one already, and it has made land owners fearful of their legacies being taken away. Our family farm has been in our family 120 years it is not right that some man can threaten to take our livelihood and our family legacy away simple to build yet another unneeded rail line, look at the maps of Illinois railroads the land is scarred enough. Say no to this line. It has ruined enough lives without even being built yet.
