Inland, of course, that mostly means from train to truck. Intermodals operate 24/7/365. They are noisy and are very brightly lit – like daytime at night. Air quality suffers enormously from the additional train and triuck traffic exhaust fumes (180 times acceptable cancer risk according to the EPA when thet studied on in California.)

Visible and audible from miles away, the proposed initial La Porte county facility would generate around 10,000 trucks worth of extra traffic also - per day! Each train is worth between 300 and 400 trucks (according to UIC Intermodal Study Author, Norman West), so that volume is from only operating at a little over one train per hour.

If you need any more convincing that this does not fit with the character of La Porte, then take a look at this - and this PR video for the Elwood, IL facility.
