train is underwater or whatever? What's over?
00:08
You guys walk in to see if the train is currently under track, currently on track that's underwater, over?
00:15
Instructing us to that, we were told not to do anything, over?
00:20
I instructed you not to move the train.
00:24
Who instructed you not to do anything, over?
00:31
I'm instructing you, we're not going to move the train, not get them to see, I guess, if it's on track that's under water, over?
00:40
Say, we need to have the conductor watch the train.
00:43
CB keys.
00:44
That's correct.
00:48
Scott, the dispatcher, who else is on here, over? Hey, Aaron Swanson here.
00:54
We're coming down to two main, we're going to go alongside that train, patrol by them, and see if he's on the track.
01:00
and issues underneath, I'm over.
01:06
Okay, Mormon Swanson is going to roll by us here on two main.
01:10
Verify we're on the rail, and there's no water dam.
01:12
We need to track.
01:13
Still want the conductor to walk it or stand by, over?
01:17
By and brief, Mr.
01:18
Swanson, over?
01:21
Well, we just got report that the tracks are washed out around Mountpost 83, both mains, south of use.
01:27
So we're not going anywhere.
01:30
Are you in a spot where you don't have half of everything blocked at this point?
01:36
The plan here with that, over?
01:40
Not got the word yet that we're tying anything down or do anything like that.
01:43
We just kind of are figuring it out.
01:45
So I'll figure you're ready to go.
01:47
I will try to keep you in the loop as to what the plan is, but for now we're just going to hang tight there.
01:52
Sounds good, fracture.
01:54
UPA-793 out.
