How are concerns about ths project ridiculous? I fully support freight rail but there have been several recent (and fatal explosions) involving the Bakken oil shipped via rail. There was recently a fire on one of the CSX trains here on the Virginia Ave tunnel. The construction will also create local congestion and disruption-- this isn't really debatable. It is entirely reasonable that neighbors-- including me-- want this project done safely.
JD Land had a post about the CSX tunnel this week:
