I live about 500 feet from where the proposed railroad is going to go through. It is also according to the drawing going to have a spur go off next to me. There is an animal wetland preserve across the road from me. It has deer and in the last few years we have seen wild turkeys and pheasants there. Wild turkeys and pheasants have not been around here in the last 37 years that I have lived here. The farmer that donated the land for this preserve did not do this to have the wild life driven out by a railroad that not only will create an enormous amount of noise but also pollute the air. I know that this railroad is supposed to be quiet but the tracks are not the only noise producer. If you have ever listened to a train passing you will find that the bad bearings on some of the cars and a brake dragging here and there create a lot of the noise involved with the train passing. This noise is not something that will do the nature preserve any good. Thanks for your consideration on this matter. Sincerely, Kevin Snook
