Dear Mrs. Ulrich:Wasn't the railroad there when you moved in? Was the price of the house a bit cheaper because of that? Regards, Bill from Maspeth |

Lynbrook resident Susan Ulrich, who lives near the branch's tracks, said the loud trains routinely wake her 1-year-old daughter. Ulrich, who is selling her home, said the primary complaint she hears from potential buyers is "the Long Island Rail Road runs through your back yard."This branch has been there since her great-great-great grandparents were alive - - if she knew about that then shut up and move elsewhere. |

Poor (stupid) thing, Ms. UlrichPella Windows are cheaper than the closing and moving costs on a new house. |

"if she knew about that then shut up and move elsewhere. "Well, she is trying to move, and nobody is dumb enough to buy her home this time. :-) FWIW, I suspect this behind much of the opposition to the third track on the Main Line. To those residents, it means more noise, and a home that loses value because they're next to a noisy railroad, and there isn't that much of a reduction in property tax. |

He knew that when he purchased the house... didn't stop him then.. won't stop the sale now. he has to drop his asking price to something more reasonable. |

To be fair, a third track would also mean the grade crossing gates will be down more. They should couple it with a grade crossing elimination project, either a viaduct like the Babylon branch or (and this would get everyone on board, except for the bean counter$ and railfans) bury it in a tunnel. |

Sorry to be harsh, but no one living next to a RR or a highway should be surprised if that line or road is expanded. |

Can't bury it in a tunnel because of diesels.. also commuter RR stations are not cut off from the outside world with Turnstiles/Fare Control like Subways are and it would arguably be a safety issue. |
