WB just turned North at Plymouth CSXT 5405 + 867, 21 cars

Edit: they just went into emergency while pulling into Plymouth yard. They have 2 cars sitting in the Y. They are currently talking to dispatch trying to figure out what the problem is.

@11:27 they have found out that have a leaking air hose with no air pressure at all. “We were pulling into the yard and the pressure just dropped on us”. There is a faulty air hose between the 18th and 19th car.
I guess 327 wasn’t the only thing going into emergency today.
