Should John Armitt, boss of Network Rail, give his bonus to the bereaved?
What are your reasons for objecting to the reopening of this line? Are you concerned about the noise from passing trains?If so, and the line is being reinstated as part of the main network, take heart that a few freight trains a day means an awful lot of heavy lorries not thundering down the streets near where you live, while a regular passenger service will bring a lot less disruption than an increase in car traffic.
I plan to travel in Europa by train and want to know tips!?
If the line is being reinstated as part of a heritage railway then these are subject to Light Railway Orders which restrict the number of trains, the days and times they can operate, and the speed.

If you have serious and legitimate objections to this line, and it is still in the planning stage, get onto your MP and make sure your objections are voiced in Parliament. Join local pressure group and if there isn't one, start one.

You probably can't. It's most likely that the railway was in place before your house (if that's the issue) so the land is already designated for that purpose. If it's going through an environmentally sensitive area then, unfortunately, ditto the above. A positive way to look at it is that the older properties around the railway line are probably there because of the line, from when it was used previously, therefore it's almost restoration of a lost culture too. There's always a silver lining.Approximately how long does the freight train from Vancouver take to arrive in Calgary?
If you really want to stop it the best angle to have a go at is to look at why it closed down in the first place, but my bet is, there won't be a lot you can do.

You don't say what country you live in which would have been helpful. If it's the UK, then I'm betting you live in Scotland as the Scottish Parliament are far more proactive in reopening old lines than the Government is in England. And you don't have much hope of stopping reopening as there is a lot of support for the proposals they have. If the reopening is for a heritage railway, then what are your problems. There won't be that many trains. If you could give a rough idea of your location (if in the UK) , then I might be able to give a fuller, more considered answer.I want to travel to Nagapattinam from Chennai by train, help with details?

Get a map of regional railroads and figure out where this line fits in. How many trains are they going to run per day? Is this a branchline to serve an industry? A freight mainline bypass? Or new passenger service?
Do you collect mth toy trains because me and my dad do?
For instance, if it's to serve an in-town industry, that would indicate that production is increasing there, so more employees will be working and looking for homes. Up go property values! In this case, use diplomacy with the railroad and industry in asking them to operate reasonable hours.
If it's new passenger service, your town will now be more appealing to thousands of people who are capable of considering rail transit for their commute. This is fabulous for property values! Of course, every time a public transit line opens, a few in the local community fear that criminals in the city will use it to come to their suburb and prey. Communities find that doesn't really happen, though.

By the law, their right to run trains is absolute. They even have special powers of eminent doman; they can seize anyone's property for the purpose of building a railroad. (and their power goes beyond the current debate in the USA following the New London incident; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/kelo_v._cit... ).

If this is a historic railway, then shame on you. I know of a historic railway museum who has an across-the-street neighbor who HATES the railroad museum. His reasons usually have something to do with protecting his child. "They blow the horn during his nap time." Well, his child loves the railroad museum, and he wants to volunteer. He's not allowed, because of fear the father would use any pretense for a nasty lawsuit.

NO. if you live in U.S , the railroad owned the line when it closed and they still own it when it reopen unless the line had a over pass which may have went over a hi way crossing then the over pass would be taking over by the state.
