Adam Jensen - Clear Line ποΈ
The indicator arm down on Spur 04 held steady at true horizontal. Ground path verified. I ascended back up the steel ladder to the signal bridge crossbeam, planting both combat boots against the cold iron plate. The evening air carried no vibrations from the switch points below. I retrieved my brass triplet loupe from the harness and brought it to my eye, sweeping the western spur. Across the darkened rail cut, the cleared track stretches out uninterrupted toward the distant terminal silhouettes. No obstructions on the ballast. I lowered the glass, leaned back against the vertical support girder, and took up my post in the quiet.
