Dear Editor
Re: Letter writer says activists should be up in arms about coal, Trending, New Westminster Record, Jan. 14.
Fortunately, Mr. Lundy does not know everything; my girlfriend inherited this house on River Drive. The trains were not here first. Second, trains were never this bad, as you state about being a NIMBY.
New Westminster had very few problems until the Washington group from the U.S.A. took over Southern Rail. It’s amazing the crap they get away with – noise and smoke. If this was your car it would be in the scrap yard.
And, for your information, loaded coal cars have travelled passed our house. There will also be coal dust blown across the river from Fraser Surrey docks into New Westminster.
Your further comments are welcome, if you do not miss the point.
