said you forward. Good. You check the area, Fifth Avenue, it's not on the street and Guy and dot, check the railroad crossings through there. CSX advised they had a train come through and almost hit a whole group of people that were up on the tracks. It looked like a construction crew, but nobody's scheduled to be working up there. Just need to know who they're working with and how they got the tracks.
