Accident would be devastating to area

Congratulations to the Washington State Department of Ecology and Cowlitz County for recognizing the broad scope of the environmental impact for the proposed increased coal train transit. It is very short sighted for the Army Corps of Engineers to only be looking at the terminal impact. These trains originate in Montana and Wyoming passing through many miles of farm and ranch lands, rural communities, cities, river, wetlands and pristine forests.
