So I'd be advised that the train tracks on 71st and Stony,

00:08

the gates, messed up.

00:10

I don't know if Metro is trying to fix them,

00:14

but right now they're stuck on up and down,

00:18

so just the other accident.

00:21

All right, no problem, we'll give them a call.

00:22

Thank you.

Yeah, I'm here near Stony and also possibly informed CTA as well because we have a couple of us that are over here and traffic is backed up.

All right, time four.

Are the gates stuck up or down? We're up now.

so they're good now?

01:22

Yeah, they're up.

01:23

No, they're back down again.

01:25

I guess, I don't know what's going on, but I know you have, um,

01:29

someone is over here.

01:30

They're decorating trees and all of that, so I don't know if this may have something to do with what's going on.

01:35

I don't know, but they're going back and forth with these rails here.

01:41

All right, ten four, so just to confirm they're stuck down at this moment.

Yes, they are.
