Greetings All,
Welcome back to the P.C.C.M. 58 series!
Today we'll follow along with the Empire Belt RR, the Penn Central Terminal Yard yard job and then dispatch our freight trains to the Kings Port Division, the Atlantic Pacific RR and the Ralston Creek RR.
We open up with the Empire Belt's Morning Industrial Job crossing over to the industrial track with a train of freight cars from the earlier EBRR Train EC-1 out of Terminal Yard. The NYC covered hopper, #892010 at the right will be going from Red Wing Milling to Blue Ribbon Flour in Kings Port NY via the K.P.D.
EL Reefer #5034 is loaded with fresh fruit & vegetables for C&P Restaurant Supply in Rock Ridge NJ via the A.P.R.R.
The M.I.J. picks up a PRR boxcar from Neal's Lumber & Hardware loaded with shipping pallets going to the Coors Brewing Company in Golden, Colorado via R.C.R.
Over at Empire City Cargill a PC covered hopper loaded for Tivoli Brewing in Denver and a Cargill covered hopper loaded for Blue Ribbon Flour in Kings Port NY are being pulled from the siding.
The M.I.J. is pulling loaded cars from Ralph's Grocery Warehouse including this E.B.R.R. 50' boxcar loaded with foodstuffs for Red Owl Stores in Denver, CO
The M.I.J. is now working the west side at Superior Furniture picking up this CB&Q 50' boxcar loaded with furniture for American Furniture in Denver, CO.
The CB&Q boxcar has been shoved to Reliable Machine Company to pick up empty NYC 50' box # 80775.
The M.I.J. is coming around the west side shoving the CB&Q car back to the M.I.J. train. The NYC empty boxcar has been spotted at Walsh Steel Wool Products for it's next P.C.C.M. load.
The E.B.R.R. Morning Industrial Job has completed it's switching work and prepares to head out to Terminal Yard as Train EB-2.
EB-2 rolls thru Bedford NY
and heads into the Terminal Yard tunnel.
Next we'll turn our attention to Terminal Yard where we find Yard Job B at Bruce Electric Equipment pulling out this GM&O boxcar loaded with wire harnesses and controls for Peerless Appliance in Mayfield NY.
Meanwhile Yard Job A is hard at work building up tonight's trains. Below Yard Job A is shoving six loaded coal hoppers and two empty clamshell cars for Kings Port Steel into track #5.
A six car block of coal hoppers for R.M.O. Electric in Rock Ridge NJ has been shoved into track #7. The empty auto parts cars from Ford await their turn to get blocked into tonight's A.P.R.R. Rock Ridge Yard train.
The Yard Job is now blocking this group of cars for Elkhart Yard and beyond to Denver, Colorado. The two empty 40' Hi-Cubes are going to Gates Rubber Co. and the empty tank car is going back to Celanese Chemicals via the R.C.R.
The Yard Job finishes blocking Train NV-3 for the K.P.D.s West Mill Yard.
Next we find the Yard Job at Terminal Warehouse & Cold Storage pulling six loaded 57' Reefers and one loaded 50' RBL for C&P Restaurant Supply in Rock Ridge NJ.
The Rock Ridge Yard bound train has been doubled over onto tracks 5 & 6 while the Denver bound PC covered hopper looks on.
It's time to call out the road power and get these trains moving!
The first train out is Train SLX-1 which will leave Terminal Yard at 10:00 PM. Tonight's power is a trio of ex NYC F7s with 1/87th scale senior engineer Sir Neal and Conductor John assigned.
Train SLX-1 rolls thru Bedford NY
Next out at 12:50 AM is Train LS-1 to Elkart Yard with cars blocked for western & mid western several RRs including the Elkhart proper cars in block 3. 1/87th scale ALco Joe has been called for this train that will be powered by four Alcos.

Last but not least Train NV-3 to Selkirk prepares to leave at 2:00 AM with an FP7, F7B and GP38 for power and 1/87th scale PC Ralph at the throttle.
Train NV-3 heads towards Selkirk
We'll end it here as the yard guys take a break before making preparations for the P.C.C.M. 58 inbound trains.
That concludes the outbound portion of the N.Y.C.T.L.s
P.C.C.M. 58 installments. Be sure to follow the action on Ralph's K.P.D., Sir Neal's A.P.R.R. and Brian's R.C.R. layouts.

Rock Ridge Out!
Very nice lineup of trains leaving the N.Y.C.T.L. and the yards for points west and beyond. The A.P.R.R. is sending a set of engines to pick up the freight at the designated exchange point.
According to published reports, the load of coal for R.M.O. Electric is timed just right as they are in the process of unloading the last coal car which was stored at Rock Ridge Yard.
The crew is waiting for the train to arrive and will have a hearty meal at Meet At Ralph's diner before tackling the inbound manifest.
10-4 Rock Ridge....
DeleteThanks for the compliments 1:1 Sir Neal and enjoy the feast at Meet At Ralph's diner!!!

Acknowledge dispatch of Trains SLX-1 to Rock Ridge, LS-1 to Elkart Yard, and NV-3 to Selkirk.
West Mill out.
That was a lot of dispatching to get cars to three locations with railfan pleasing consists on each! Gotta love the Alcos on LS-1, the orderly NYC F unit lashup on SLX-1, and the PC mixed bag for NV-3! Terrific work with the captions on your videos describing the action as the cars rolled by!
