One of them saying she got a broken foot, but these new barriers they have installed here, I don't, there's no way for me to load them up on the train.

Can they make it to the platform?
00:29
It can. That's what they're trying to do right now.
00:32
No, there's a new like barrier here, and they can't, I can't get them through the barrier without them crawling over the 3rd rail.

02:36
Oh, they're moving slowly.
02:37
They're about one car length away.
02:41
It gets kind of dark just past my headlight.
02:45
If I could move up a car length or two, that might help them walk a little faster.
02:51
We're going to keep you right there holding position 505 M90.
02:54
Do you have eyes on the individuals? M90, that's negative.
02:57

03:00
Okay, they're walking towards platform three.
03:04
Yeah, I'm over.
03:05
I'm on the bridge over here on platform three trying to get a better view, but I'm not able to see anyone.
03:09
It's too dark.
03:11
Okay, there's probably like, there's like three train cars turning away from the station.
03:18
Can you see my headlights around the curve?
03:22

03:34
Okay, there's a tree.
03:36
Like they're underneath the tree, but they keep going back and forth from our barrier fence up to the personal barriers.
03:43
They're back on the walkway now, moving, but they're moving real slow.
03:46
One has a white hood.
03:47
That's the only thing you'll be able to see.
03:50
What was that? I was just trying to let you know that 500 is still quite a ways away from
03:59
those people.
04:01
I'm sorry, we were switching over the radios.
04:03
Guys, can you repeat the last transmission, please? I was just letting the supervisor know that there's a tree between me and them that's kind of blocking the light, but they're about to be on the other side of the tree, and all she could really see from them is a white hood.
04:17
But they keep going on the walkway down towards the barrier fence, our outside barrier fence, and now I can't see them at all.
04:27
383, can you see them?
04:29
Negative, there.
04:30
Like I said, I think they're still a little ways away because the train just stopped up ahead.
04:34
He hasn't come around the corner where, yeah, to get to M 87.

So they're a ways away from us.
