S18 on air. S18, go ahead. I know S6 was asking, but CSX has been notified to shut down both these lines, correct? Yeah, they were the ones that called it in, and comment on the initial is that they're holding off traffic. Awesome, appreciate it. You got it.

Railroad supervisors have arrived and are proceeding along the west side of the tracks.

And Chopper, I'm not sure if Shore Drive has an access point to the road tracks, but you may actually be able to get on north of the incident scene and come down those tracks if there is, if a detective or somebody is responding that might be able to get back there. We'll be clear for now. Call us back if we can help. Copy that, thank you, Chopper.

The person is under the train and awaiting rescue. Units on scene are checking nearby to see if there are additional people.

Shopper, the officers with the individual under the train, can you check north of and just ensure there's not a second person? Can we just quick walk down there, maybe another yard? 184, I'm checking.

The train has blocked the area currently and additional responders are coordinating efforts. It is unclear what the situation is currently.

Columbus PD Zn 1 (N/NE) Dispatch · 0:29
180, what else needs shut down? Lincoln's covered by 182. We just probably get a couple cars up here at the scene, and we'll work from there.

Okay, you said there was a CSX unit already out there? It appears so. It looks like a two-person CSX pickup truck. Lincoln is going to be shut down indefinitely at your discretion, but the train is completely blocking. So, it is shut down right now. Okay, can one of the 18 precinct hospitals on scene check with CSX to make sure they shut down the other rail? 10-4. CFD is asking if they're going to need rescue to get them out.

The east rail line is shut down due to the incident involving a person on the tracks.

Columbus PD Zn 1 (N/NE) Dispatch · 0:30
Hey, chopper, how many rail lines are involved in that, and do they need to shut down more than just the one? It's going to be the east side. It's a double rail, and it has one set of cars that is involved with the making contact with this person. So the west rail section that comes south here, kind of, so the east rail line, the east side of the rail needs shut down. It's a double rail, and it has one set of cars that is involved with the making contact with this person.
