This is our hit-hits, our southbound and the conductor's bear behind it.
01:04
He says,
01:05
I reckon when we started pulling off, a little pine tree must have fell on the train or something.
01:09
I don't know if that's my uncouple air hose or what he's back here now checking it out.

Hey Rollo, so this pine tree is pretty big and it's great, it looked like it hit one car, and as we started pulling it scraped along two cars and disconnected the hose in the middle, you got air coming up on the bottom now? Yeah, we got air coming up on the bottom.
02:14
You're going to need to cut that tree and get it out of the way before we pull off.
02:18
I think so because it's dragging along the side of the car and doing a pretty nice little markup job on it, but...
02:27
You got some car numbers here that strip down side of it's going to need to be cut.
02:32
