Had a couple unexpected errors on our flow, on the main reservoir on our CP units.
00:07
So we found out mechanical.
00:11
It's either as possible loose by hand or low main...
00:16
reservoir pressure and it keeps going up and then back down. I'm guessing it's probably a loose sliding or a gasket.
00:27
Didn't know if you'd be able to maybe get the responders assist us and maybe put us running through running track three so we can do a roll by and check it out. Make sure there's nothing else going on with it all.
00:48
All right, sounds good. I'll get you guys line into running track three. Let me call Responder, have them give you guys a shout so that you can look at that.
01:00
I'll let them know you're running to running track three there over.
01:02
Okay, appreciate your help.
01:04
We'll let you know what we're fine.
01:06
Thank you.
01:12
And four respondent after 915 coming over.
01:22
3915, westover.
01:23
D.S. Claude and said you guys need to do a robot and you guys go through them for you over?
01:29
Yeah, we've gotten some unexpected main reservoir flow errors on our DP units. We turned up mechanical and they said it's a possible sticking gasket or a loose cloud again between the cars and the DP's.
01:45
And our flow on our head end keeps going up and then dropping back down. And then our flow on the main reservoir,
01:51
it hasn't gotten to was 16. Over.
02:00
Okay, is a set up your brakes or anything or just getting flow out of nowhere?
02:08
Just the flow,
02:11
as the rear on that, the flow gets jumped up to 30 pounds on the rear, so it's like there's a leak somewhere close,
02:20
maybe the last car, and then...
02:24
Okay,
02:31
I'll give you a row by and then if I find a thing you guys work while you guys plan to stop the running track three or you guys just rolling through
02:41
Yeah,
02:43
we can stop if we need to.
02:52
Okay, all right, copy, just looking for a road by over.
