Go ahead of them.
00:08
One out of the sighting got about 99% of our train on the sighting.
00:16
Something crazy happened with the train.
00:19
My air brakes started setting up here and we were dropped to 64.
00:24
It was always in 60.
00:27
It didn't dump, it didn't put me in emergency or depression or anything.
00:32
I dumped the train,
00:34
thinking maybe we had a triple valve or something thinking,
00:37
doing a reset on it right now.
00:43
Let us know here, doesn't even turn over?
00:47
It ain't looking good right now.
00:50
It is coming up.
00:51
I do have communication.
00:53
I have air on the rear,
00:55
but it's almost like we've got a hole, maybe somewhere.
01:04
Yeah, so it's coming up, just not at a normal pace over?
01:07
A normal, it's not, nowhere close to normal pace.
01:09
I got high flow,
01:11
and my rear is only shown 56 on the rear right now.
01:16
It's not actually normal here, over.
01:20
All right, the conductor's starting to walk over.
01:24
Yeah, we were just kind of getting to the point where we're evaluating it.
01:27
That was the point where we were at, but I think, yeah, you get this stuff now and start walking.
01:33
All right, copy that list.
01:34
How much do you find over?
01:39
Also, do you guys have any crossings blocked over?
01:42
Yes, I have a lot, I have a lot of crossings block over.
01:46
Uh,
01:51
six of them, over.
01:57
Between South Beddorf and 186.6,0.
02:03
Should be noise back door.
02:09
All right, so you basically got from like 187.69 to 186.32.
02:17
You're not, are you blocking, are you blocking the parking lot exit for Alcoa that 185.89 or just the main entrance? Over? I'm actually not blocking either one of the Alcoa crossing.
02:29
I'm actually sorted down over.
02:31
Okay, so you've got South Bellingham as the northernmost crossing you got blocked, 186.56, and down to 31st Street, down there at 187.69, over?
02:45
Okay, thanks.
02:46
We'll get them called in, over.
03:03
How to keep training, you want to go south.
03:09
Now it's the one to two.
03:16
We've got one going through right now, so we're going through.
