Dabberdt, who with -husband Ray lives north of the tracks --"se close you can almoat see the engineer'a face" -- described the noise and smoke from passing trains as «horrendous» and said it would be even worse fer apart- ment dwellera. Dabberdt aIse noted that trains often carr potentialiy dangorouis chemicals and there is always the risk of fire and «toxic spilla» in the event of an acci- dent.

Commenta were received from the Whitby fire department, Dur- ham Region and t he Town's pub- lic works department, Crouch aaid. Planning directer Bob Short agreed that the agencies did have concerna, but other titan CP none had outright objections. "ýeey de go on te atate that if it is te ho approved, there are a number of conditions that have te be implemented,» said Short.
