Hey, what about that train hitting that person in Shafter? Is that near you?
00:04
Boy, you're ahead of the news.
00:06
I didn't hear about that.
00:07
When did that happen?
00:08
I think not long ago, an Amtrak train.
00:13
Oh, brother,
00:14
don't tell me Amtrak hit another one.
00:16
I wonder which crossing.
00:18
I don't know.
00:19
I don't know which cross, but it'll be on the newsy, you know, when he says that's where I just caught it from, or Barb did, on the news she watches a five, she's got it on,
00:33
you know, in the living room.
00:34
But yeah, I said an Amtrak train hit someone.
00:39
That's too bad.
00:40
People need to, you know, you know, those railroad tracks are nothing to mess with.
00:45
You know, the arm is down and the lights are blinking.
00:50
I don't know how people,
00:52
you know, unless like that kid that got hit the last time up here, he had his earphones on and was listening to music.
01:03
But, yeah, well, I just was eating a sandwich in the kitchen.
01:07
And I was looking for the news,
01:11
and all there was was football, so maybe I'll have to catch it a little later.
01:15
Yeah, I'm between two crossings, one downtown and then one just west, or east of Shafter, as you exit Shafter, so I wonder, probably downtown.
01:29
I don't know, but I'm sure you'll hear about it on the news when it,
01:34
you know, Barb's watching the news now,
01:37
you know, 5 o'clock it comes on.
01:39
It's one of the regular channels, you know, either 23, 29, or 17.
01:45
I don't know which one of those has the news which started at 5.
01:51
Bye, I'm too ready now.
01:56
29, Harley.
01:57
They've already talked about it, you know.
02:00
I wasn't in there.
02:01
But the news is on 29.
02:02
That's what Barb has it on.
02:04
I got 29 on now.
02:07
Let's see if I can pick it up at all.
02:09
It might already be over.
02:11
It is about the train.
02:13
It was a central and something.
02:15
Okay, Central and Santa 43.
02:18
That's right downtown.
02:20
Oh my gosh.
02:21
Yeah, and that stops the Amtrak, you know.
02:23
And let's see, it's at 5, so I think that was probably a northbound train.
02:33
The impression that Barb got is it, you know, it was on the 5 o'clock news and it had just happened a little bit, you know, before 5, you know, before the news.
