You want me to put a call in for Republic PD?

Unless they can give us an answer as to when it might, if the train's coming through, if there's no one visible.

Okay.

Six thirty-three.

Just information, BNSF wasn't able to advise what's going on over there or if there was a train on the way.

But they did say that they put in a call for a technician and to get somebody out there as soon as they could.

If there's a train coming or why it's malfunctioning, they did state they put a call in for a technician, but they weren't able to give any sort of ETA on that.
