I am so pleased that this railroad is moving forward. The Uinta basin is in great need of economic growth and opportunity this project would create. I am part of the oil and gas industry and this railroad is crucial to the successful development of the natural resources in the basin. Our company has participated in over 20 new horizontal wells over the past 18 months. The current marketing and processing bottleneck for crude coming out of the Uinta basin has greatly impacted the overall economics in a negative way. This rail line would literally open up a world of new markets to us. We are praying that this comes to fruition. I strongly support the proposed route of the railroad (Indian Canyon/Emma Park Rd.) We will be directly impacted by this project as we currently have under lease thousands of mineral acres straddling Emma Park Rd. Despite this, we still strongly support the installation of this rail line. I have been extremely impressed with the amount of information that has been shared with the public so that we can make informed a decision. I support this railroad 100%. Thank you!
