Central chain 381 and I'm approaching MacArthur.
00:04
381, Go ahead.
00:10
I look at somebody wayside.
00:13
I saw my train and now I can't see them from my vantage point, but it's right when you get out of the tunnel,
00:18
departing 19th Street, so maybe 1.1, it's on the C2 track.
00:25
Any description or direction of any other than walking in? They're just sitting on the hillside, you know, where the overpass area is, they're just sitting down the hillside.
00:34
Like I said, I can barely see them from my vantage point, though.
00:38
I copy, and from the C2 track, would they be on the left or right-hand side? If you're coming down a C2 track, it's going to be on the right-hand side, and it looks like they're making that way towards the trackway now off the hillside.
00:49
I copy. Is it safe for you to continue towards MacArthur?
00:55
It is safe for me since I am past him, but definitely it won't be safe for the C2 trucks they might enter the trackway.

04:54
keys, crew switch?
04:56
So he's mentioning the bottom half of the door was open.

05:05
He's going on the trackway, looking off to the side of the trackway,
05:11
right before, like right at 1 decimal 1 for the underpass.

So it sounds like they're in the right of way, are they actively in the trackway or adjacent to the track? In what track?
