Professors warn Amtrak rail yard would worsen local environmental burden

Original: Professors: Amtrak’s proposed rail yard would add to the area’s already sizable environmental burden

A group of professors argues that Amtrak's proposed rail yard would add to an area already carrying a sizable environmental burden. Writing in the Chicago Tribune, they contend the project would compound existing pollution and environmental strain on the community. Their intervention adds academic weight to local opposition as the proposal moves forward.

Why now: Amtrak's rail yard proposal is under public debate and the professors' criticism gives residents and officials a new argument against it.
