New Pacific advice. The last train through there was westbound in approximately 40 minutes ago. They believe it was that train. They're going to stop it and chuck it.

We're done at the original location. We went to Mineral Street just to check.
02:05
We don't see anything obvious here.
02:07
All right, Methodist, Steve. I just got another report that the railroad bridge,
02:14
there's smoke in the area.
02:22
The bridge over two or the bridge over the river?
02:28
It was in the area of the river, but we should probably check both sides of both of those.
02:38
That one over two would be in line with this and then the spur would be the river bridge.
02:49
Message received, we'll be parked at Mineral Street and we'll take a walk down there.
02:59
The 61, I'm going to walk up here and see if I can see around the bend here if there's anything down there.

04:02
We're going to try and get the grass. We're going to come down on the tracks. We need to foam some of these. It's down in these railroad ties that are oil soaked.
