I see a forty year old lawyer that lives near the 111 year old tunnel that isn't happy it's going to remain there for another 111 years...Crying

Increased accidents and terrorist attacks? Very odd arguments, as I understand the new tunnel will make accident response easier.

 

When you are grasping at straws - you will throw anything and everything against the wall and hope it sticks, and a shyster is more than willing to do that for you....for a fee!

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

Balt:  Its too bad there is no one arond to give a photo journal's progress report on the work.  Maybe CSX should start a site showing each week's progress ?  KP east where are you ?
