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

Additional Hazardous Waste Transports
Increased length of trains will increase delays at RR crossings

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.

    • I am opposed to 34+ trains coming through my town daily. It will cause mass chaos with people trying to get through town going to and from their jobs.
