So where is this train right now?
00:23
With south, the next stop is Nicolet.
00:26
Okay.
00:30
Either they need to get off of the train and we'll send medics to the Nicollet Mall Station, which would be a very quick response,

00:49
The call in just now regarding the young man that has the frostbit.

I wanted to know how long you think it will take for someone to get to one of the platforms instead of just having him standing out there waiting.
01:05
Well, that's what I'm saying.
01:07
We either need to hold the train with everyone on board and get medics there,

HCMC typically responds very quickly.

Union Depot all the way in St.

Paul, is that correct?
01:48
Okay,
01:50
he's actually going the wrong direction.
01:52
