  // monitored territory. An example of this is 06 0123+ PEL/BBR and is decoded

  //
  // The first character represents the trip type designator. 0 identifies a
  // scheduled revenue trip. Other revenue trip values that are a result of a
  // change to the base schedule include; [= reroute], [/ skip stop], [$ turn
  // train] also known as shortly lined service.
  //
  // The second character 6 represents the trip line i.e. number 6 train The
  // third set of characters identify the decoded origin time. The last
  // character may be blank "on the whole minute" or + "30 seconds"

  // trips have the is_assigned field set in the TripDescriptor.
