No, but we have an issue.
00:01
We derailed back here.
00:04
Wait, what?
00:06
Trucks are on the ground in the rear.
00:07
We're derailed.
00:10
Oh my goodness, how that happened.
00:12
Probably when we knocked off the brakes and bled them all that rolled back and then hit the chain and rolled off.
00:20
Awesome.
00:21
Um,
00:23
okay, I don't know why they didn't tie a handbrake under this.
00:26
They did.
00:27
They did.
00:33
Trainmaster RFE.
00:34
Uh,
00:39
go ahead for girlfriend.
00:42
What exactly is going on? Is it the rear two? How many axles?
00:48
Yeah,
01:02
we've been just in the rear,
01:06
most of the next to the radio, it was.
01:10
Justin, your radio is so that your radio is so bad, I can barely hear you.
01:14
Are you in your car?
01:16
No,
01:18
we're on the portable.
01:19
He's walking back to the car.
01:20
I'm going to cut your trailer and let the back half roll away.
01:31
Cut what?
01:38
Hold tight, Jordan.
01:40
The rear car on the 3,000 foot cut is on the ground.
01:43
You can't block the crossing at Cusack Road.
01:48
Who was just talking about Cusack?
01:55
Justin.
01:56
Yeah, go ahead.
01:58
We're going to go back up to Cusack and make a cut, I guess.
02:02
Why is that?
02:07
Someone's on the radio saying that we can't block it, but we'll all see who it is.
02:12
Okay,
02:14
can the boom truck get the wheels back on? Yeah, we've got...
02:18
engineering out here right now, we're talking to them to see if we can.
02:21
Because if we can get a couple blocks and put a block under there, we could pull it and it'll pop right back up onto the rail.
02:28
You're okay Bayside when you get, when you're able to into 311.
02:33
Okay, what's their,
02:34
where do we think our estimate is? Should we start cutting some of these?
02:39
I mean, if we cut them, we're not going to be able to do anything, so we can put blocks down.
02:45
It's only going to take a few minutes.
02:47
and then we can start pulling, but if we start cutting, then we're going to be all on standby until we get it back together to be able to pull it up onto the rail.
02:54
Okay, do you guys want us to stay up this second crossing, or do you want me to go back to where you are?
02:59
I think you stay at that second crossing.
03:03
It should only take a few minutes.
03:04
You've got them here, we're talking with them.
03:05
We've got some blocks that they're pulling out right now that we should be able to just pull on it and get it pulled back up onto the rail.
03:12
Okay, sounds good.
03:15
And then just to be aware, I think the public somehow got onto our radio channel, so there might be a little bit more...
03:21
All right, Senator to the foreman, 113.
03:24
All right,
03:26
we'll be aware of it.
03:28
Make sure we're using some identifiers, so we know.
