Hey, so just giving you a heads up, we've had a pretty extensive delay because of the big railroad crossing down by like 37th Street.
00:09
You know what I'm talking about?
00:11
Yep, I am aware.
00:12
So what I want you to do is when you get there, just so we don't get you stuck, let me know.
00:17
Like we have a couple other buses,
00:19
can you take a left on 37th?
00:22
And if it looks like you're able to get through on Stinson with the tracks, follow Stinson down to 33rd and then you can come back over to Central.
00:32
If Stinson seems blocked, we think Silver Lake Road should be good.
00:36
Does that make sense?
00:38
Yep, I can do that.
00:40
(number withheld) clear.
00:41
I appreciate it, thanks.
00:42
Tank clear.
00:43
Operator (number withheld), are you there?
00:45
Hey, one one.
00:46
Hey, ten here again.
00:47
Checking train moving at all yet?
00:50
No train is moving.
00:52
All the street support providers are arrived here.
00:54
Yeah, there should be anyone on the way.
00:55
You said it's still not moving.
00:57
Yes, sitting there right on the corner.
01:01
I'll be able to make it, but I'm scared.
01:04
I'm sorry, what's going on?
01:08
I'm able to go through, but a little bit of scared.
01:11
You know, a little bit dangerous.
01:13
But the train is still there, correct?
01:16
Yeah, it's ready to already clear this street, but it's right on the east with the lights flashing.
01:21
The gate is down and there is no way.
01:26
So just so I get this straight, the train is gone, but the crossing guards are still down?
01:34
Yes.
01:36
Interesting.
01:37
Okay, yeah, I want you just to stay safe.
01:39
Like I said, I believe three supervisors should be on the way.
01:41
I'm going to call the railroad company.
01:44
How long ago did the train pass through?
01:50
How long ago was it that the train continued through but the gate arms were still down?
01:59
Honestly, about maybe 3 minutes.
02:05
Hopefully in a couple minutes it'll get sorted, but I will call the railroad company and they can send the company back.
02:10
And let them know about the gate arms as well.
02:13
Yeah, I'm just trying to let you know I'm almost an hour and ten minutes down.
02:19
Yeah, I copy.
02:20
I'm sorry about the long wait.
02:22
We're working on seeing if we can figure something out with your other trip.
02:27
Oh, we'll appreciate that.
02:28
If you can make some kind of arrangements for that, thank you.
02:32
We'll let you know.
02:33
Thank you.
02:39
Has the train started moving or anything?
02:43
Oh, it's still there.
02:44
Not moving at all.
02:47
The train is still there?
02:49
Yes, it's still here.
02:51
Okay, copy that.
02:52
I'll call them back.
