on the eastbound track. 3917, coming up to be bespoke, and need of caution, please let me know if you see smoke. My brakes are starting to fly at the time I go about five miles the brakes are flying and it stops the train. 6-8-3. You should stand right where you want. We have a 953 right there, 6-83. Move, over? I don't see them here. You want to move? Are you standing by? Somerville, 6883, over? 6863, that's what I just said. I just left East Somerville. I ask, can you meet up with 683 when it gets to Leachmare? If you can make your way up to Leachmare, shut down both cars when you do get there? in front of it. It's coming from probably some kind of switch they have under the rail. Smoke is not a lot for now from a distance. It might get become a flame because they have some dead leaves in. Control. 3917 that you copy. 3856 stand by Brooklyn Hills, please. So I copied. I am removing the fire and stanguisher right now.
