I am taking a risk. When I complain about pollution I am punished with more pollution.
My ears are ringing from infrasound. With the effects of Hurricane Mathew, a powerful storm that wreaked havoc on many southeastern North Carolina cities, the source of a disturbance remained untouched. CSX-T tracks were washed out in many places, and R.J. Corman was brought in to service the erosion and restore functionality. The Vander
Line was affected serving DAK Americas as was the CSX-T mainline in downtown Fayetteville. Amtrack suspended all activity through Fayetteville, and yet this disturbance continued unabated. Certainly there was flooding north of Pope Field on the Lower Little River which feeds the Cape Fear. This disturbance continued. Whence does it come? Is it the railyard at DAK Americas? Is there an Aberdeen and Rockfish or Norfolk Southern locomotive there that never sleeps? Is it Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point south of Wilmington? Is it CSX-T’s mammoth transfer yard in Hamlet? This low frequency sound wave commenced approximately three weeks ago, and it never has stopped. The entire country is suffering. Usually when I complain via this blog some attention is paid to my concerns. Then this ensued. After a sedentary summer freight rail traffic roared to life. Do the owners of the Astros know that their proposed baseball stadium is adjacent to the CSX-T mainlines? It is a double track. Do the owners of the Astros know that their proposed baseball stadium is adjacent to the STRACNET line servicing Fort Drag? Or is it Fort Hag? It is an interesting business proposal pitting what has become a corporate monopoly industry against a recreational sport industry. It could be considered a power move. The city of Fayetteville or the White House cannot regulate the now out-of-control rail industry, because they are intertwined with the Department of Defense. The Department of Defense is out of control spinning yarns, creating unrest, and funding lucrative defense contractors. That is the Carolinas. National Defense. Our coastline has transformed itself from a prime tourist destination to a sprawling military industrial complex. We are rail lines connecting military installations, and that is not inspiring the economy for American citizens. It is lining the pockets of the elite wealthy. We are a third world country. Fayetteville was privy to receive millions of dollars for the I-295 inner loop. This loop, while it maintains a sense of progress for the community, simply is an access road for Fort Bag. Or is it Fag? Trucks carrying munitions can exit I-95 and drive directly to their access point on post with no interruption. Bragg Boulevard has been closed so compounds on either side of highway 24 can be integrated. It’s logistics on post, and it is smart logistics. Citizens of Fayetteville need to understand what Fort Bragg has become. It is the largest military compound in the United States. Munitions are brought in on trucks and loaded underground onto trains which haul them to a sorting yard in Leland and then down to Ocean Military Terminal Sunny Point. My question is, “Is the disturbance that is bombarding Fayetteville and the country coming from underground at Fort Hag?” On the surface the United States Army owns some GenSet locomotives. They also own heavy haul locomotives worth millions of dollars. Where best is it to hide the country’s munitions and the expensive locomotives that haul them? Is it underground at Fort Bag? Do we really need “The View” running the country?
