Deputy 68.
02:03
I'm at Second and Springertown.
02:04
I can see what looks like the front of a train towards you.
02:07
Do you have the train itself at Arch or in the car there or not?
02:13
I'm on my way down First Avenue now.
02:15
County, be advised, train is blocking Main Street.

All right, witness here is saying that the occupants of the vehicle are here at Arch.
02:39
I'm going to try and find them, but the vehicle itself was dragged by the train.
02:43
It looks like the train would have been heading into Upper Providence from Worcester.
02:50
Okay, so the train was heading eastbound then.
02:54
That's what I'm assuming based on which tracks it's on.
02:57
It's probably, I don't see the front of it, but probably it's laid out by Springertown.
03:03
Okay, we're trying to get.
