Greetings All,
The 63rd Penn Central Car Movements Series resumes today!
Penn Central Train LI-2 from Selkirk is barreling thru Empire City towards Bedford and Terminal Yard. Sure looks like 1/87th scale PC Ralph at the throttle!
The F7A-GP30-GP40-GP40 lash up is looking sharp as it passes Bedford Tower. Tower operator 1/87th scale John B is busy tonight threading what has become known as the Bedford Needle.
LI-2 rumbles down Main 2 towards Terminal Yard while Train LS-1 to Indianapolis via Selkirk waits on Main 3. The 6557 was the only U Boat to receive the red P heralds.
Train LI-2 passes LS-1
LI-2 arrives at Terminal Yard
LI-2 continues into the yard environs on arrival track 8A
The engines have been cut from the train and head into the engine facility for refueling.
The Yard Job crew has prepared their cool looking PC Switch List that came my way courtesy of 1:1 PC Ralph.
The Yard Job is all ex PRR equipment today. Below they are coupling onto LI-2's ex NYC caboose.
The ex NYC bay window caboose is shoved into the caboose track.
Transfer cabooses have been assigned for Trains EC-1, far right, and BP-41 with the 86' PRR boxcar. The Yard Job has placed the LIRR block from LI-2 on track #7 as it continues working the LI-2 consist on track #8.
Three "Hot" 86' behemoths loaded with auto parts from ACME and IDEAL will head out shortly for the Ford Plant in Bedford Park on Train BP-41.
Train EC-1 gets a block of six reefers from C&P Restaurant Supply for Ralph's Grocery Warehouse in Empire City.
The Long Island block is shoved onto the head end of EC-1 for interchange with the LIRR at the Empire Belt's North Side Yard.
The Yard Job works the last two cars from LI-2 shoving them up track 8 towards Terminal Warehouse & Cold Storage.
57' EL Reefer #5034 loaded with restaurant supplies from C&P Restaurant Supply and 50' BAR Reefer #7574 loaded with baked goods from Freihofer's Bakery are spotted at Terminal Warehouse & Cold Storage.
We'll cut it here for today with 1/87th scale Big Mike and Robert R called for Train BP-41 and Big Mike voicing his displeasure about the assigned engines. More on that tomorrow.
Be sure to follow the action on

Acknowledge arrival of Train LI-2 at Terminal Yard.

I really enjoyed the consist on LS-1 with the F7A on the point! The train runs smoothly by in the video! Your engine yard shots are very impressive with the gathering of power on those tracks. Thinking Enola or Selkirk! Excellent organization going on in Terminal Yard to get those cars moving! Nicely done!

Rock Ridge Yard out!
You have to love the look of those three 86'box cars in consist as well as the 6 green reefers heading to Ralph's Grocery. Empire City and Terminal Yard are going to be very busy and the N.Y.C.T.L. will be very profitable. Nice music while watching the train roll by..sweet!

DeleteThanks for the compliments 1:1 Sir Neal!!!
Those big 86'ers are indeed an impressive site!
Another great P.C.C.M segment unfolding on the N.Y.C.T.L.!!! I like your Bedford Needle name for the traffic rolling through Bedford Park. The engine servicing platform is quite the hub of activity. It’s been fun watching it grow over the years. Looking forward to the next segment!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliments Brian!!! After you turned me onto the 'Selkirk Hurdle" moniker the "Bedford Needle" seemed like an apt description for that location.
