Stop Great Lakes Basin Railroad development in Winnebago County

Please don't do this. My family has a farm there and it will ruin so many beautiful places and wildlife.. this just isn't right

Not right behind our property, please!

Because the public hearings regarding the environmental impact statement concluded in April, I believe many in Winnebago county were caught unaware because routes through Winnebago were considered alternate and not given full publicity. Citizens of the county feel they did not get a fair hearing in the process.

This will destroy neighboring farms and a campgrounds. It will be right across the street from my house!!!!!!!!!!!!

The railway is not going to have any economic impact to the area.

Move the track to run farther away.

Save the great bald eagles are all over the area. Preserve our nations bird!! No railroad!!!

This will destroy neighboring farms and a campground. It will be right across the street from my house. I can't imagine the noise.

Fuxk this railroad and the people who rode in on it!

why not put this where it is needed! What studies have been done on rather we need it or are some people just getting money out of a government fund?

No Railroad

I see no benefit to our communities, just detriment.

Take it somewhere else. Your going to ruinfarm land hunting land an the communties land! This land is owned! You have no right to just try an sneek in an get it!

Let's preserve our earth not ruin it

This railroad will go right thru my neighborhood. It will devalue my property and take up valuable farmland.

This project has the special interest of very few and devastation to many. The current rail system works and needs upgrading, which is in the works and it will become a more efficient rail system. The real railroad companies do not support or have any interest in this project. The GLB is keeping its real interest hidden! Winnebago county country folks have worked for over a century farming these lands, raising generations of families, preserving wildlife, and embracing the country lifestyle. Illinois has become the 2nd largest Bald eagle wintering state next to Alaska. This has a great deal to do with the Rock and Pecatonica Rivers and as well as our wet lands which they nest. We love our land, our homes and our lifestyle. We work hard and take pride in preserving what we have, we pay our dues and never complain or ask for help. We now need to ask our local, state, and federal representatives to stick up for us. We need to come together as a community and block the GLB! Thank You Jim Webster Winnebago County Distract 2 representative for going on record opposing the GLB at tonight's county meeting.

Stop the railroad!

Stop the railroads from taking farmland!

The tracks would go right through my father in laws property and his neighbors'.
