I am opposed to the GLB RR. I grew up on a farm and I would hate to see the farmers lose their precious farm land to a railroad. Some of these farmers have worked hard for that land, Don't take that away from them. Also I am a rural mail carrier and I deliver mail in the area where the GLB RR is going. That would make my mail route a complete and utter mess. My route is evaluated there fore I only get paid a certain amount of hours, If I am constantly waiting for trains and I work over my evaluated time, I am not getting paid. Please Do not let this railroad into our area. It would be a complete disaster. Just think about how many car vs train accidents there are now and put in tracks with 100 trains a day. I don't even want to think about. Please do not let this railroad come through this area.
