I oppose the Great Lakes Basin Railroad. Please look at it from the rural community point of view. Many people will be effected with the new proposal. Think of a railroad only 25 to 30 feet from your house and the noise and up to over a hundred trains a day. The rural community is a quiet place and people love seeing their crops grow. All of their lives have been invested in providing food for our country. Lots of acres will be no longer in use. Consider using the exisiting railroads and saying no to the Great Lakes Basin Railroad proposal. Thank you for your time.
