Hello,
I'm not sure if I am in the correct category, and if I'm not, I would appreciate it if you could forward this to the right category.
The circumstances are:
I bought a house in Bernalillo, New Mexico in Aug of 2005. At the time I bought the house, I was not told that a state owned train called the Rail Runner would start operating about a year and a half later. The Rail Runner came on board in July of 2006. When U bought the property, I accepted a certain amount of noise from BNSF which the Rail Runner now shares the tracks with. Overall the neighborhood was peaceful and quiet with an occasional BNSF train passing through.
However, since the Rail Runner came on board, there is constant noise from 5 in the morning until 9 at night. The Rail Runner has now created a big noise nuisance for communities along its route. The problem is that it will only get much worse as Governor Richardson intends to take the train to points North and beyond.
My question is: Is this a valid complaint for a class action law suit against the state of NM Department of Transportation and Governor Bill Richardson? Also, can BNSF also be included in the lawsuit as a secondary defendant because they share the track with the Rail Runner? Also, could a law suit be initiated on a contingency basis if valid?
I would really appreciate your input on the matter.
Thank you.
Peter L.
