P.C.C.M. 62 / NYCTL Part 3

Greetings All,

Welcome back to the P.C.C.M. 62 series!!!

Let's wrap up the NYCTL's outbound portion!

We're at the Empire Belt Railroad's North Side Yard in Empire City NY where EBRR train EB-2 is preparing to depart for the short run to parent road Penn Central's Terminal Yard behind two EBRR GP30s and an EMD leaser.

1/87th scale senior engineer Sir Neal who basically runs the day to day operations at North Side Yard wishes PC Ralph a safe trip with EB-2 and a reminder that the leaser needs to go back to EMD.

EB-2 has come over the Vanderbilt Bridge and made the turn at Bedford Tower. Tower Operator 1/87th scale John B is out to give EB-2 a roll by inspection and checkout the GP30 in demo paint.

1/87th scale PC Ralph is rattling the windows of Hostess and the apartments behind it as EB-2 roars towards Terminal Yard.

EB-2 rolls thru the tunnel into Terminal Yard.

1/87th scale PC Ralph has cut off from the freight cars and brought the engines into the Engine Terminal. Maybe he'll cut the leased GP30 from his engine consist. Maybe he won't.😇 

The Yard Job gets to work on EB-2.

Cars for Elkhart, West Mill and Rock Ridge yards are being sorted.

Two AP RBLs, a PC boxcar, three EBRR boxcars and a gondola are in the Rock Ridge block so far. 

Empty PC boxcar 360063 will get put into the next Bedford Turn for it's next PCCM load in an upcoming intralayout move. Cool! I've been waiting for this three layout car to cycle to the NYCTL for several months and am in no hurry to see it go back in the box for another couple of months.

Another block of cars for West Mill get shoved into place.

The Morton Salt covered hopper going to Morton Salt in Rock Ridge NJ brings up the rear of the Rock Ridge block being shoved back to couple up to the West Mill block to make up PC Train NV-3 that will travel from Terminal Yard to Selkirk. 

Cars for Elkhart and the Ralston Creek RR makeup Train LS-1 that will travel from Terminal Yard to Elkhart via Selkirk.

LS-1's power has coupled up and it's time to go!

LS-1 heads thru Bedford towards Empire City & Selkirk

Next stop Selkirk!

Back at Terminal Yard the power for Train NV-3 (Terminal Yard to Selkirk) couples up to PC boxcar #360508 that is headed for Marcal Paper. The two white AP 50' RBLs were loaded in PCCM 61 at Ralph's Grocery Warehouse with foodstuffs for C&P Restaurant Supply. Both industries are located in Rock Ridge NJ.

The big pawed six axle power brings NV-3 out of the yard.

The Kar Trak reader and the watcher have recorded PC boxcar #360158 bringing up the rear of the West Mill block as LS-1 leaves the yard. 

NV-3 passes Bedford Station

Next stop Selkirk!!!

That wraps up the NYCTLs outbound portion of PCCM 62. The inbound portion will begin next weekend.

Be sure to follow the action on 

Sir Neal's APRR and PC Ralph's KPD.

Thanks for reading and watching!!
See ya soon!!
