Dispatcher, this is that 191, Wayside Cope, called us that we have, I guess, a possible break at one of the axles.
00:09
We're about to pull into this summit side, and the conductors are going to check it out.
00:12
Okay, you said, what, with the brakes, sticking brakes?
00:15
We're not 100% sure.
00:16
You know, the call does, and so does the axle number, and the conductors are going to have to check it out.
00:20
I copy. What's the axle number and car number?
00:22
Okay, dispatcher, which side is on with y'all.
00:24
So when the crew passed this, the RT-126.9 post shows to be the bar, South Carolina, sighting.
00:32
Show they have some little extra 243 dispatcher and crew extra 243.
00:37
But we can't give our card numbers, of course, dispatcher.
00:39
You will see it here in your email in a few seconds.
00:41
240, I mean, 191 if you guys want to take that car from it.
00:44
And it looks like this minor will be on the car right in front of it.
00:47
And it may be this car that I'm looking at, that's causing that issue.
00:51
I have just another look at Axel 242, and then maybe two cars back on Axel 252, 252.
01:00
You should have a little bit of wheel heat on that car as well, 1901.
01:03
Yes, I don't want to suggest the 242,
01:06
same car is actually 243, but it just won ahead for episode 242, and then 2.52,
01:11
take a look at me. Take a look at 42.
01:12
Like I say, I think it's one on axle, 1-242.
01:15
You guys may find a handbrake.
01:17
If you do, let's sure you take a picture, please, using a handker device before you release it.
01:21
If it ain't a handbrake, then we don't, no home, no ball.
01:24
Make sure you take out your applicable gear, please, that's probably.
01:26
B-26 which you watch you're putting in any unsafe conditions definitely 191 okay okay all right that's a good copy I suspected it not going to delay anybody but he get into their sighting yes so I'm incorrect and uh who would have called kind of hope you oh it's a good copy number one should be delay once they're in the fight on

01:55
Perfect Colombia mechanical.
01:56
