Confirmed on radio, CN #2934 + UP #8961 is M399. Went into emergency M2 by mp223 near cp Trowbridge around 12:55. A491 given M1 at mp227 and asked to keep lookout for anything on M399 as he goes by him.

Around 13:10, M399's clear-to-stop signal was downgraded to a stop signal.

A491 passing by mp223 M1 at 13:21. CN #2275, #3012.

I never found out fully. Someone believed an issue with a coupler if not air.

Has since long proceeded. Too low a battery to report at the time. Got to mp202 around 15:11
