N800-25 @ 12:42 eastward reported by the DD mp CG44.2 with a "no defects" only message. He is diverging into the west end of Wells Siding at mp CG43.3 that has a 10 mph speed limit & is traveling too slow over the HBD's magnetic transducers to properly scan & perform the axle count for the train. From the various HBD systems I had worked with in the past, the manufacturer had stated a 5 mph minimum operating speed (though we had found with some the minimum speed was a bit higher). He has BNSF engines #9001 + #5764 & 130 loaded coal cars & as he was diverging into the siding, he most likely was slowing his train below the minimum speed requirement for the HBD.
