Hi there-
Mon, Jul 7, 2014 at 9:13 PM
Hoping you may be able to help with a recurring problem-train idling on North St. Toda ,,beginning about 3 pm,
the"camp"train, which houses the train workers, parked behind our ho Its long, so it's
affecting many, many of our neighbors. The electrical system is extremely loud and the lights are blaring in our
windows. I was told the train will be parked there,with all the power on, all night, and the plan is to keep the
train right where it is for weeks while the workers complete their work. The fumes, noise and light pollution is
absolutely unbearable. The person I was told to talk to at Pan Am is Joe Harkins and he is reachable at
1800-955-9208. I really appreciate anything you can do. This is not the first time this has happened. If you
recall, there was an article in the Gazette maybe 6 months ago about the train that idled for about 12 hours and
they did nothing about it.
Many thanks,
Jen Dieringer(and John Frey)

Hi,

I am writing to register a concern and complaint about both noise and fume pollution emanating from a train that
seemed parked in front of our '
Even with all the windows closed, it is difficult to maintain a conversation inside the house,the noise is so loud.
Sleeping with our windows open to cool down the house was impossible last night and this morning the fumes
were also noticeable.
My understanding is that the Railroad company need to house their workers in the train. They have not
accounted for the fact that they are parked in the middle of a residential neighborhood and that the noise is
unbearable for those living only a few yards away.
I invite you to send someone to verify what I am saying and to please do something to stop the noise and fume
pollution.
Thank you
