The DNR has given their blessing for another rail line
through LaCrosse. 7.2 acres of wetland
will be filled in for the extra rail track.
With the millions of gallons of gas and other highly flammable and toxic
liquids, and other potentially hazardous materials that will be brought though
our fair city, I think it’s safe to assume that with the added line comes the
added pressure of more trains through LaCrosse.
Are you ok with this? Are the
trains going to be whistle silent when chugging through town, or are we going
to be hearing the whistle blow each and every time that a train passes an
intersection? Is the addition of the new
line going to mean more trains running this line, or will it mean more efficient
use of the tracks and faster trains? I
also wonder if the owners of the rail have trains running close enough to their
own homes to hear the thud, thud, thud, thud each time a train passes?
