3835, I've been trying to get hold of dispatch.
00:03
We had an alarm for a warm journal on last car and train, and I need to get it stopped, but I cannot actually stop you myself.
00:11
And I haven't been able to reach out to dispatch.
00:13
Can you try to reach out to them and let them know that we have a warm journal that we need to inspect on your train?
00:19
Okay, copy, we'll do.
00:22
I'll be standing by on the radio.
00:42
This is DS9 over.
00:43
This is DS9.
00:44
We got a report of that we've got a warm journal on our train on the very last car.
00:50
We want us to find a good spot for us to stop and be a responder to help us out here.
00:56
Yes, sir. I just got the message.
00:58
Is this the BNSF 3835 over?
01:01
That's correct.
01:05
Yes, sir. Let's stop right there.
01:09
Let's stop right there.
01:10
Responding is going to head out.
01:12
You said it was the last car over?
01:14
Yeah, that's what I was informing the very last car.
01:17
It's a warm journal.
01:20
Okay, your responders in route.
01:22
I just spoke to them. I'll give them a call back and let them know you're going to stop right there at East Grants.
01:26
Over.
01:27
All right, copy that.
01:31
Yes, this is the dispatcher.
01:33
Is it possible for them to drop the conductor off and pull the train up so we can get an accurate inspection on that bearing?
01:42
Yeah, that's fine.
01:43
They can drop the conductor off.
01:44
That's fine.
01:45
I'll let them know.
01:48
Roger that.
01:49
38,
01:50
uh, 35, can you hear the inspector down?
01:53
Yeah, I got a copy of that.
01:54
Yeah, we're just kind of finding a good spot to inspect it.
01:58
Well, it's been pretty rough weather out here, so these roads are all kind of messed up.
02:04
Oh, totally understand.
02:05
Stop where it's safe.
02:06
But when you're ready, let me know and I'll give you the information on the car in question.
02:11
Okay, copy that.
02:12
I'm ready now.
02:13
Do you got that information?
02:15
So the car in question is your SFLC
02:19
9637. I'm showing it's the last car in train.
02:23
On that indicated car when you get to look at it, it's going to be the 4th axle from the B end on the right side of your train.
02:33
So right side, 4th axle from the B end.
02:37
I need that bearing cap measured 1st .
02:40
Get me a good temperature read on it.
02:42
Do you have an infrared gun? No,
02:50
I do not have one of those on me right now.
02:54
Okay, Roger that.
02:55
Well, sounds like the responder is going to assist, but I just need to get you back there to take a look at it.If the data that we have is correct, I'm showing it's about 160 degrees, so it should be easy to find.
03:08
But again, it's the 4th axle from the B end, right side of your train.
03:13
Check that bearing cap 1st .
03:14
Check all the axles behind it and then 12 in front of it just to make sure that we're not missing anything.
03:20
Once you've done that, inspect.
03:21
Give me a call back.
03:22
On five, let me know what you found.
03:24
Okay, copy that, we'll do.
03:27
All right, y'all be safe out there.
03:28
I'll be standing by on tone five to take this.
