Congressman Mfume asks EPA to investigate uncovered coal trains in Baltimore

In a new letter, Rep. Kweisi Mfume is asking the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to investigate uncovered coal trains in Baltimore City, saying his residents are tired of breathing in polluted air. This comes after several environmental groups nationwide filed a petition last year asking for more federal regulation of uncovered coal trains. Some neighbors in Curtis Bay tell me the smell and amount of dust in the air can be unbearable at times, causing some people to change their daily activities.
