DED alarm from axle 532 to 533 (last car's axle & 1st axle on the CSX engine #3462 - probably an air hose hanging down). Conductor will inspect & they still have their cab with them.

EOT hose was hanging down after the rear dpu's were added & all is good to proceed at 20:26 once the Conductor is back on the head end.
