Stop the CN Railroad

To:  United States Surface Transporation Board

PETITION TO STOP THE PROPOSED PURCHASE OF THE EJ&E RAILROAD BY THE CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILROAD

The undersigned hereby oppose the acquisition of the EJ&E Railroad by the CN Railroad, including but not limited to the following reasons; Griffith residents’ Quality of Life will be adversely affected by the proposed increased rail traffic through:

• Additional Hazardous Waste Transports
• Increased length of trains will increase delays at RR crossings
• Increased response time for emergency vehicles
• Current un-protected at-grade crossings
• Increased noise pollution

The negative impact to our overall quality of life caused by the proposed increase in train traffic will adversely affect the values of our homes and businesses, the safety of our citizens, and bring a serious disruption to our daily lives. We oppose the acquisition of the EJ&E by the CN railroad.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
