Transcript:
Turn to the 117 here with an individual. He said he was looking for his wallet. He said he climbed the fence because somebody threw something over it and he's looking for it, but he can't find it. He can't find his wallet either. Can he make his way out of the area or are you comfortable with him trying to board your trains? Otherwise, let him know that BART police will be removing him. He's possibly a 5150[1]; he keeps a post like a tubing post and is talking about his wallet being there. I can barely hear him. If it's safe, continue on. 8-1 is clear; the individual time is 0814. This is 5-01. Can I continue? Affirmative 501. 8-2 at 1.0 or one clear an individual at 0814? Okay, I want to continue in Rhodes until I clear him. He's along the fence line by the railing looking underneath it and is ignoring me now. Continue; your road is good all the way to Fruitvale Station, and ATO at your discretion once you're clear of the individual. That's for the 501, 227 and 17. Copy. Central, the 239 at Lake Merritt is ready to copy. I give you one second, 239. 363 to 24. I just got a release from my hold canceled. Nope, you're still holding. 239 in Rhodes manual, run the A1 track to Fruitvale with a restriction, proceed with caution, work on site. Train 239 to Fruitvale station with a restriction; proceed with caution. 950 back on the San Francisco end, you're going to take the paper up and issue it. Train 239 to Reeves Act is correct. Release your hold. Lake Merritt ETA once clear of the individual is 0816. Trains in the area take caution.
