Stop Ethanol Trains through Densely Populated Neighborhoods

Middleboro just got blind-sided by high-speed rail on a track previously used for slow-moving freight, mostly in the middle of the night.

There are no limits for where these trains might eventually travel - this makes us all vulnerable.

Stop Ethanol Trains through Densely Populated Neighborhoods

Target: Governor Deval Patrick

Sponsored by: Jovanna Garcia Soto

I am a tax-paying stakeholder and am deeply concerned about Global Petroleum’s proposal to bring large volumes of ethanol by train to their Revere facility (60-120-car trains, two to three times per week, 280.8 million to 468 million gallons annually).

There are hundreds of thousands of residents, businesses, organizations, churches, health care institutions, schools and other important community resources along the proposal's routes. More than fifty cities and towns are likely to be affected including Cambridge, Somerville, Everett, Chelsea, East Boston, and Revere.
