Terminal Yard Wreck Train Heads To Weehawken

Greetings All,

 The Terminal Yard wreck train has been dispatched to Weehawken Yard to assist the Atlantic Pacific RR with cleaning up a  derailment that occured on the A.P.R.R. mainline between Rock Ridge Yard and Weehawken that caused the A.P.R.R. to miss the start of the P.C.C.M. 50 series.

 Train TYWC-1 heads thru Terminal Yard towards the yard throat behind a trio of GP30s and an F7A.
 TWYC-1 heads out of the yard with plenty of tool cars and ballast.
Big Hook #1 still in gray primer was pulled from the paint shop.  
Big Hook #2 in black PRR paint is at the rear of the train
TYWC-1 hits Bedford NY as it heads west.

TYWC-1 passing Bedford Station


TWYC-1 heads up and over the Vanderbilt Bridge and the High Line on it's way to Weehawken via Perlman Yard at Selkirk.
Hopefully the Terminal Yard Wreck Train can work the AP mainline wreck from Weehawken Yard towards Rock Ridge Yard and expedite the clean up process allowing the A.P.R.R. to participate in the P.C.C.M. 50 series. We can't have the famous A.P.R.R. out of action!
Thanks for reading!!!
PS. P.C.C.M. 50 resumes on Saturday October 6th.

      Thanks John!! I plan to post the work cars returning to Terminal Yard during the week as part of my P.C.C.M. 50 installments. I'll give you the head's up on what day they'll be in the blog. If there is any particular car you'd like a close up of let me know.

    Great looking wreck train! All those well done tool cars and two big hooks...IMPRESSIVE! Seeing it in motion was fantastic. All that wreck equipment kinda makes me wonder, how GOOD is the track work on the N.Y.C.T.L.? ... KIDDING! GREAT JOB!

      Thanks K.K.!! It was nice to get most of the wreck train out of the box. I bought most of it years ago for my son and the cars are from a variety of older manufacturers including a couple of wooden kits. I later added som BB box equipment. As for the trackwork on the N.Y.C.T.L.? I'd rate it very good to excellent. Now if I could just stop running thru closed switches!! Ugh....
