Activist TREND. Railed. Residents Against Invasion of Land by Eminent Domain. RAILED.

Residents Against Invasion of Land by Eminent Domain formed to combat a $2.8 Billion freight rail plan. Here’s what you need to know:

• The Surface Transportation Board rejected the rail plan, according to RAILED due to the projects lack of funding
• What surprised RAILED the most: that a swath of residents didn’t care about the freight rail, didn’t think the rail would affect them, and had no idea of long term impact on safety
