We have an issue on 7 rail.
00:02
It is sticking out.
00:04
They won't be able to get to 8 rail. It will be a collision.
00:07
I need help.
00:11
All right.
00:19
I have it. I send you a help.
00:22
Zaw, did you copy this? You guys, uh,
00:25
go ahead on seven rail. He needs to move the trains.
00:32
I just show up.
00:36
I can't stay, please. I'm sorry.
00:42
I'm sorry.

9-1-3b0-9-26.
00:51
Do I have clearance 1, 853 in the yard?
00:57
Yep, 853. Put that thing on 14 without changing, stand by neutral.

6-5-3-2-2.
01:05
6-5. 6.5, can you make your way to VU, the BU bridge?
01:17
All of them or...
01:21
We got like six trains on this, on this rail.
01:26
And it's going over like three feet over the yellow line.
01:32
Where's the last train that was on that rail? I think it should be five trains.
01:37
What was the last train on that rail?
01:42
I'm not sure, but I think it's a Deuce Nine.
01:51
This 9 is on, um,
01:56
he's on 6 rail.
02:01
Yeah,
02:03
it's a 7-Rail. I think somebody made this mistake and probably put it off.
02:08
Yeah, it's a 9, it's a 9, it's on,
02:11
it's on the 9. What you got on the paper?
02:16
I got a deuce nine on six rail,
02:21
but on seven rail there's a single nine,
02:24
905.
02:25
Then there's two deuses.
02:28
Because that seven rail can take up to five cars.
02:32
How many doces on that rail?
02:36
They're correct, two deuses and one nine in the back here,
02:40
905. Maybe they didn't spot it correctly.
02:45
Yeah, that's the issue. We just got to spot it. Thank you for catching that.
02:54
No problem. I'm taking the 9.05.
02:57
You guys get the rest of the other ones.
02:59
I already put it in standby neutral on the first one.
03:05
So I just put the 9.05 for the yellow line, then the other ones can change ends and bring it back to you.
03:15
Doing it now.
03:19
And I'll love them to.
03:23
I could have the transit call this. They wanted to hold service.
