I oppose the merger of KC Railroad with Canadian because of the disaster it will bring to the community of Houston, Texas. The Houston area is already suffering from the terrible conditions at the Englewood Rail Yard in 5th Ward. All over the city we have to deal with train stalls that last over an hour. Medica, fire, and police personnel are continuously delayed in their response because of the railroads that already exist here. This merger will make the quality of life exponentially worse! The pollution will get worse and the traffic delays will get worse. We, as a community, don't want railroads here. Union Pacific has already poisoned 5th ward with creosote and many community members have been killed by the cancer caused by this deadly chemical. Even the State has declared this area a "cancer cluster". We don't want another rail road company merger.
