You start a record this way for private tow, it doesn't matter. Is there any way someone on scene can confirm the railroad crossing number? We're trying to get CSX to stop train traffic there, since the vehicle's on the tracks. Clear, same I won 911. Crossing is okay.

East of 1st Street, we've got a truck over here, not on the rails, but right next to them it's going to be close. The train goes by. So you might want to get them stopped if you could. 286, 251. You go there? Yeah, I'm going to wait for the radio complete. 202-160. That's recording. Just 43, there's a white box truck in the middle of the road with flashes on delivering stuff, too.
