You just have one to jump off a bridge on time.
00:12
It's a stupid business.
00:16
It's everywhere, it's everywhere.
00:23
Dave, thank you.
00:26
For a train master.
00:28
I don't know, where they all know.
00:36
Sage, without doubt.
00:37
The next to you dispatch a 278 over.
00:45
278 over.
00:47
So we're you going to report additional trespassers at that location ever?
00:51
Additional trespassers, that's as a moose signal waiting. We're waiting for it, over?
00:57
We're waiting for you. Have they said anything on the first train ever? Oh, we kept rolling.
01:04
Right, but you're saying you didn't feel safe getting out of the train for the roll-line. Is that correct, ever? Is that correct? Over.
01:11
All right, did you at any point see the guy that jumped off the bridge again, over?
01:16
No, ma'am.
01:18
Okay, thank you.
01:20
Did he wear him dark clothes?
01:23
No, he asked like blue jeans and a pale yellow shirt on, but he did have a dark color shirt with it.
01:29
I know, but the one that was hit the moose.
01:31
Yeah, the one at the moose got dark clothes on.
01:34
Okay, yeah, I've seen him walking up this way.
01:36
He's heading your way, uh, working that.
01:39
All right.
01:45
Chief Dispatcher 278, local authorities are on the scene. They should be getting towards that trestle so y'all can drop down and inspect it. Should be getting with you shortly, over.
02:01
Is it ready to look at all? No signal, sir.
02:06
We're kind of in the middle of nowhere right now.
02:13
Hey, Regan, start walking back towards the signal now at the authorities of there, over?
02:18
Uh... If you get somebody to that signal... Yeah, if they can get somebody there to it, I mean, it's kind of hard to get into that signal.
02:30
Patrick, you said he'd be on cross there, and then just pull the train by you there.
02:35
At the walk the speed, it's extended the walk the speed a little bit,
02:38
but the pull by you there and then walk in east from there.
02:42
Uh,
02:44
yeah, I mean I guess long as everybody else lurking, oh.
02:49
Stayed again.
02:50
Yeah, I mean, I guess that's okay as long as there's no one else lurking around.
02:54
Uh,
02:55
oh.
03:04
278 different.
03:06
Go ahead. Hey,
03:07
just curious, I mean, I don't know how long it will take for that 40 end to get out behind us, but you got anything that good to you?
03:16
Uh, there's nothing that good to you.
03:18
I'm just curious if maybe if we pulled by, we could get that 40 end to pick them up, I just take it on the board mountain and he can bring the captain up and drop them all.
03:29
Yeah, it'll be fine. We can do that.
03:31
Yeah, that's expedited move and clear up some grass, please.
03:36
Yeah, we can do that. The guy jumped into water or won't this old grass? Well,
03:42
he was hanging off the side and no, watched him. He fell on top of that, he fell on top of that little shed that goes underneath the trestle there to keep the rocks falling on people's heads.
03:53
He fell on top of that and then fell on the ground.
03:56
They got cops.
03:59
Yeah,
04:01
he's probably in a homeless camp up there off the Greenway, man. There's about 15 homeless encampments up there.
04:12
Yeah,
04:13
he went off the north side and he fell on top of that shed and then fell on the ground. I wish that the sweatshirt was up there for a while. I don't know if he got there or not. He'd see the sweatshirt was on that roof.
04:32
Okay, on the end of the tide.
04:34
All right, no, here we go walking speed.
04:46
All right, Joe, Judge. He went off the north side of the trestle,
04:50
and he fell on top of that little shed that goes underneath the covers the ground. He fell on the ground.
04:58
He had blue jeans,
05:01
white male,
05:02
and had a pale yellow sweatshirtle.
05:10
All right, you got that. They're probably in one of them homeless camps up there off the Greenway.
05:15
All right.
