Back from here, breast trunk one.
00:32
Go ahead, one.
00:36
Do you go me to roll solo.
00:40
No, when you just hold up here for a minute so we can come over the game plan.
00:46
It's not smoking like it was.
00:48
I'm going to wait to wait to hear back from...

Indian Pacific said that train is going to be stopping at Center Butte.

02:21
That's correct.
02:23
It is stopped.
02:25
It's come past,
02:30
bi-pass. I'm not sure which direction it was going and then maybe it slowed back to get to where they're at.
02:39
Yeah, I'm not showing anything to get you out there to the tracks until they'll send a view.
02:48
Yeah, is there any way to get contact with the phone information from one of these conductors?
02:56
I'll see if I can get anything from their office.
03:07
Sandy, go ahead with your traffic.
03:11
Just want to advise, I did not have anything on my page or I'm just going to head to the rural station and meet up with whoever's on that brush truck.
03:21
Okay, copy.
03:27
Fire command of brush truck one.
03:34
Go ahead, one.

Yeah, let's just hold you up.
03:46
We don't have anything that is going anywhere with this train at this time.
03:49
The smoke seems to have dissipated, so let's just hold you.
