Laura Benshoff of Newsworks, reports today in the Philadelphia Business Journal:

A group in Upper Merion is drumming up dissent for a proposed extension of the Norristown High Speed Line to King of Prussia.

Calling themselves No KOP Rail, the neighbors have launched aChange.org petition and are asking local state representatives and state senators, as well as Gov. Tom Wolf, to kill the project.

The proposed extension is in the planning stages, several years out from breaking ground if it can secure enough federal, state and local funding to buck up to the $1 billion price tag for construction.
