You want the license number?

Was it only on the platform or was it affecting the tracks setting there over? No, there's a regular platform and then there's a little extension apron that leads into the depot and with more on the apron than actual platform, but it's definitely not where it belongs.

Okay, so it kind of extends out a less like to a pathway to the parking lot and it was parked on that almost over?

You have to drive down the platform to get to the spot where it's at, but there's a little bit of a sidewalk in front of the station kind of parked on the sidewalk and probably has one set of wheels on the platform over.

I understand the car was not fouling the tracks any, then thank you guys over there.
