01:27
We will have to stop and expect to ensure that these cars are safe for movement.
01:33
If no obvious defects are found,
01:36
then they will have to proceed 30 miles per hour to the next designated set-out location.
01:41
So I believe the 6K food has already stopped,
01:46
so they must go back to those cars to respect.
01:49

01:53
if no defects have found so that they can proceed.

G-A-T-X-224-795.
02:48

03:05
