After a question was raised at the NEN annual meeting October 4 regarding coal shipments through Salem, NEN is continuing to ask questions about the liklihood of this happening and the impact on the neighborhood by as many as 16 open-car coal trains per day. With trains being up to one mile long, the impact on traffic is also a concern. Please contact NEN Board Member Alan Scott at scott46ac@gmail.com if you have any questions or comments
