The current detector uses milepost instead of a town name. I'm not sure what dispatchers call it these days, but the town name of "Blanton" doesn't exist anywhere in this area and I'm not sure where they got that name from. I've only ever heard this area called Sandy Mush.

I want to say this is the same SCL voice, but the CRR detectors gave the location name instead of milepost like the ones on SCL lines, but the voice sounds similar.

I think the detect detector detected metal at the start
