Yes, sir. This is UP 7944 eastward.

Yes, sir. We just hit a semi here at the crossing by milepost 794.2 here in Tornillo.

We're shaking there, boss, but we're good.

This is where we're headed.

That we just barely crossed that crossing about three cars.

Sir, we both plugged it.

It was a semi with a fuel tank.

Yeah, we were hoping they didn't have no fuel in there.

I appreciate that.

01:00

Yeah, we saw that driver on the semi.

01:02

How about in the last minute?

Yes, sir. Yeah, it looked like he was already on the ground, and then he left.

Pretty sure he was out of the way.

I see him here on the sun side.

Yes, sir. Go for the YVHO.

Negative bus, not for us.

I don't know about that driver.
