They just don't know what to do.
02:25
Two people with the vehicle, they're fine.

02:30
However,
02:31
I'm going to need a tow truck to get them out from where they are.
02:33
Any damage to the rail or anything that you see over?
02:36
I'm not a rail inspector.
02:37
However, I do not see any apparent damage to the rail or anything else over other than their vehicle.
02:44
Alright, I appreciate it.
02:46
Yeah, no, I understand.
02:47
I just was seeing if maybe they got dragged down the rail or anything.
02:50
No, we just clipped them and tore up the side of the car just a little bit.
02:54
Don't think we're going to be able to move till that tow truck gets that car pulled away from us, though.
02:58
All right. I do have the trainmastering around.
03:01
R.C. called me shortly after you called me to tell me about the car, so I was a little late on that.
