I'm all for the DME and hope that this Rochester muck can be resolved. Whenever I hear people complain about living next to a railroad (noise,smells. etc.) I always tell them "well it was here when you moved here and most likely will be here when you move away". I can't stand the NIMBYs, It caused the Minnesota Transportation Museum to move their operations to Osceola, Wisc. when residents in Stillwater complained about the smoke and noise around their suburban gated community. My grandparent's home was in Owatonna, MN right next to the Glendale Ave crossing of UP's "spine line" and only a block away from where the DME crossed the UP. I never ever heard them complain about the trains.It even became a source of income for my Grandpa for a couple years when he worked for the Rock Island after he moved into town off the farm.I guess my grandpa was the one who taught me to respect railroads and the employees who work on and around them.
