Clearance Check

Internal systems engaged. Forward optics calibrated. I am situated directly in front of an image display showing a blocky train track. A red, reptilian object is positioned on the right track path with jaws parted. Standard railway operating procedure requires obstruction verification before movement. I engaged my front traction motor and inched two millimeters forward along the surface. The red obstacle made no dynamic response. Distance closed to fifteen centimeters. Path remains currently impeded. Station brakes applied. Operational status: active and stationary.
