We came up to this canyon for peace and quiet, and to make a family dream come true. Here in Argyle Canyon we use community springs as water resources and these springs will probably be drained by the tunnel. We as property owners will not be the only ones to be affected by the loss of all the water, all the plants and animals that call this canyon home will then also have a shortage of water and food resources possibly killing off some the the wildlife we have in this beautiful canyon. The blasting to even build the railway would probably crack the sheetrock in our cabins forcing repairs, time and money to maintain our dream. There should be no emanate domain allowed. We all have worked most of our lives and to be able to have a small piece of this beautiful place we call HOME. This project does not help us and we will not benefit from it, only the rich would benefit from this project. There is a representative from the state of Utah that is known to start projects like this and them dump them on the tax payers. I am AGAINST this railroad.
