Now here's the ironic/moronic part: The tracks were ripped up and the rail bed was sold as lots to build, you guessed it, summer homes. What wasn't sold for homes was made into bike trails. Now the train CAN'T return. And we're now stuck with nightmare traffic through out the Summer.
Another source of emissions in the Northeast is our homes. If you heat with oil you contribute to emissions. During the Winter, look at the chimneys as you drive along. You'll see quite vividly who needs to call a burner technition.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
