The 4th Street detail,
00:05
milepost 58.51 on the west side of the street,
00:13
so going eastbound.
00:14
There was a garbage truck with a crossing arm stuck in the kind of middle of the top of the truck.
00:24
As soon as he pulls off, it's probably going to break or rip the arm off.
00:29
You may want to have signals go there and check it out, but it's going to be soon to be a broken gate.
00:37
What is the milepost?
00:40
58.8.81, 58.81,
00:44
or 58.51.
00:46
Sorry, 58.58.51.
00:51
58.51.
00:53
Did you guys,
00:55
is a vehicle on the track?
00:58
No, he stopped and the gate went down on top of him.
01:02
But it went in between a piece of the truck, so I can tell that that's going to break as soon as he pulled away.
01:15
What track 1 or main track 2?
01:18
Track 1, track 1.
01:21
It's close to track 1.
01:26
Foul, but when the gate came down it washed itself into the top of this truck, I could see it when we went by.
01:33
He doesn't know it yet.
01:34
When he pulls away, that that arm's going to come off.
01:41
All right, so it's small post 58.51,
01:47
main track 1,
01:50
and the gate arm is stuck on a garbage truck.
01:54
Yes,
01:56
also known as 4th Street there.
01:59
So it's 4th Street,
02:00
eastbound,
02:02
south side or west side of the, west side of track 1.
02:11
But he's not on the track.
02:13
He hasn't fouled the track or stuck on the track or anything like that.
02:16
No, he's well in the clear.
02:19
It's just the arm came down and wedged itself in the top of the truck.
02:24
I'm telling you, once he pulls away, it's going to rip that arm off.
02:27
You might want to have signal go by and deal with it.
02:34
Okay, I will turn it in right now.
02:38
