So I'm at
00:03
Magoun Square. The train just bucked a couple of times real bad.
00:07
I just wanted to put that on the air.
00:12
All right, so everybody's okay and the train is moving normally now.
00:24
Really? Seven or two.
00:30
I'm gonna go to the next station and see what it does.
00:33
Received, let me know.
00:34
Portable 953, can you meet 716 when they get to East Somerville? I don't know if you called, copied the report at Magoun Square, the car was blocking.
00:46
Yep, 953, I copy.
00:49
Okay, thank you.
00:56
Yep, I've been having my finger on trying to get here.
00:59
621,
01:02
we need doors clear, proper room signal.
01:03
621, thank you.
01:07
Sorry, Central.
01:08
I've been holding on the button to get the air, but I'm back in the district.
01:24
AMF One C to portable 438, transmit brief that's faulty.
01:29
Like to release the train.
01:33
870, 870.
01:37
One C, hold the train.
01:42
One C, copy that.
01:47
1A to 438, train at Hines has been brief, may I release?
01:53
438 to 1A, may I release the train?

Central 387870 coming to you, Somerville on the eastbound.
02:06
16 to Central Control.
02:09
I'm at Gilman Square right now.
02:11
Yeah, it's fucking real bad, especially when I go to hit the brakes.
02:19
All right, copy.
02:20
The officials at the next station, if you can just use caution and bring it up to East Somerville, see if they'll meet you there.
02:33
This is 3878, he's over on the eastbound.
02:36
Come on here.
02:40
And 716, are there any indications? Is there a propulsion disabled or anything? Anything that could be leading to the car bucking?
02:51
Yes, it's giving the PDA and B fault both times.
02:56
Not both, it's the same, but it's doing the A and then it's doing the B on the PDA.
03:01
All right, I copy.
03:07
And this is only happening just before the cop box.
03:09
It's not staying on consistently.
03:15
Especially when I'm braking, when I'm coming to a break.
03:20
Okay, received.
03:21
I copy. 953, copy that.
03:23
It happened a few times with us.
03:25
Let me know if you cut out anything or if you want to try isolating the car to see if it's a drawbar issue.
