Welcome back to our 63rd Penn Central Car Movement!
We'll wrap up the NYCTL's outbound portion today and dispatch Penn Central Train NV-3 to Selkirk with freight cars for PC Ralph's Kings Port Division and Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific Railroad.
We start at the newly moved and mocked up Pier 16 Grain Silos with a Terminal Yard Industries Job pulling three APRR and two EBRR covered hoppers loaded with grain for the Cargill Plant in Rock Ridge NJ on the APRR.
The covered hoppers run past Terminal Warehouse and Cold Storage and the T.O.F.C track towards Terminal Yard where they'll be spotted for the Yard Job to block into train NV-3..The Yard Job has coupled onto the covered hoppers and will shove them into the Rock Ridge Yard block.
The Yard Job is now working the T.O.F.C track pulling a trio of T.O.F.C cars destined for Williams Yard in Kings Port NY on the KPD.
The Yard Job with three TOFC cars in tow will now begin to build train NV-3 on Track#8 due to the trains 28 car length.
The Rock Ridge Yard block is pulled out of track #6.
And is shoved back into track #8 to couple onto the West Mill block which includes a gondola of scrap for Sal's Salvage, a PC boxcar of Rheingold Beer for Reynolds Beverage, a B&M RBL for Blue Ribbon Flour and six coal hoppers for Kings Port Steel..
The 9999 tacks an ex NYC bay window caboose onto NV-3. Those two coal hoppers are going to Corning Glass Works on the KP&W.
The power is called for NV-3
The engines have coupled on. The brake test is completed and it's time to go.
NV-3 heads out of Terminal Yard.

NV-3 meets an inbound TV Train at Bedford NY.
NV-3 passes Bedford Tower minus tower operator 1/87th scale John B. With NV-3's 3:00 AM departure time 1/87th scale John B theoretically should be home in his 1/87th scale bed.
The five GP30's muscle NV-3 over the Vanderbilt Bridge and onto the High Line.

I like the Geeps R Us phrase!
Agree with Ralph, very sharp looking lash up on NV-3! Five GP-30's makes for some impressive head end power.
