560.
00:05
We're all back together.
00:07
We're almost break tested.
00:08
The numbers are uploaded if you want to peek at them.
00:10
I was hoping to put a ticket in for MNW.
00:12
There's a couple of pretty hardy bushes on the north side of the lead-in for the man right by the derail that hit the conductor and they block the view of the derail.
00:31
They hit the conductor.
00:32
He's okay, though, over.
00:34
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:35
They're just brushing up on me.
00:36
They get much bigger than they might be a problem for the next guy.
00:41
Copy that.
00:42
All right, I'll, I will put a ticket in there right now for him.
00:47
I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure we take care of that stuff up there.
00:50
But, yeah, I'll put a ticket in right now, over.
00:52
Yeah, I don't know who owns what out here.
00:55
I just report it, man.
00:57
Yep, yep, Roger.
00:58
That's not even my job to figure out that's theirs on that side.
01:01
Roger, I'll put it in there right now.
01:05
As soon as you guys are ready, come on east, over.
01:07
It's important for your notations.
01:11
The bushes that need to be removed are east of the D-rail, so I would assume it's our section of the rail we own.
01:17
It's just Mike.
01:18
East of the D-Rail, nope, that makes it even better because that way they can't say it's not theirs and dust their hands off with it.
01:28
I'll note that on here.
01:29
Appreciate it, brother.
01:30
We're finishing up this air test and we're gonna get out of here.
01:34
All right, happy that guys, thanks.
01:36
All right, dispatcher out.
