P.C.C.M. 66 / NYCTL Part 2

Greetings All,

Welcome back to Penn Central Car Movements #66!!!

A three layout virtual op with 

PC Ralph's Kings Port Division,

 Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific RR 
and my NYCTL.

Hop aboard as we close out the NYCTL's outbound portion today.

We open up at Terminal Yard with 1/87th scale Alco Joe called for today's Yard Job with his conductor Murray.

The Yard Job gets right to work on the freight cars brought in yesterday on EBRR Train EB-2.

The YJ shoves back on track #7 to pick up the empty Gulf tank car for return to the Kings Port NY Gulf Facility.

1/87th scale Alco Joe is building the Rock Ridge Block of our outbound train. Three gondolas of pipe for Shapeless Steel, three EBRR 57' reefers four 40' boxcars for C&P Restaurant Supply. The empty GN 40' boxcar is heading back to GN tracks via Elhart and Brian's Ralston Creek RR.

The Yard Job is now working the West Mill block. The BAR & P&LE boxcars are headed to Reynolds Beverage, the Gulf tank car to Gulf and the empty coil coaches to Kings Port Steel. Empty PC Hi Cube boxcar 272742 is consigned to Bruce Electric Equipment for it's next PCCM load.

1/87th scale Alco Joe spots the PC Hi Cube outside of Bruce Electric Equipment for the Pier 16 Yard switcher to deliver.

Back at Terminal Yard the Yard Job continues building our outbound train shoving EL reefer 5034 and BAR reefer 7574 into the Rock Ridge Yard block for delivery to C&P Rest Supply.

Covered hoppers for Morton Salt and the large Cargill facility at Rock Ridge have been shoved into the Rock Ridge block. The Yard Job is now shuffling cars for the West Mill  block that include two gondolas of Pipe for the Hudson Valley Ag CoOp and a P&E boxcar loaded with 55 gallon drums of ink for the Catskill Mountain Press.

1/87th scale Alco Joe has the West Mill block pretty much set with KP&W PS2 hopper loaded with silica sand for Corning Glass and boxcars PC 104478 and NYC 80775 cut into the block. The yardmaster is out to let Alco Joe know there are two cars for West Mill and three for Rock Ridge over at the Pier 16 yard.

The Pier 16 switcher is now working Bruce Electric Equipment. 

The GM&O boxcar is loaded with electrical equipment for Peerless Appliance and the PC depressed flatcar has a transformer for a Kings Port Division consignee.

PC Hi Cube 272742 is spotted at B.E.E. for it's next PCCM load.

The GM&O boxcar and PC flat are spotted for pick up by the Terminal Yard Crew.

The Pier 16 switcher has departed and 1/87th scale Alco Joe and the Yard Job couple up to the two loaded freight cars.

The Yard Job shoves back to the Pier 16 Grain Silos holding track to pull a trio of empty PC covered hoppers for the Cargill Facility in Rock Ridge NJ

As 1/87th scale Alco Joe brings the five freight cars towards Terminal Yard for blocking into our outbound train we catch PC Ralph bringing his six engine consist thru the wye so the Alcos will lead on the return trip back to North Side Yard. Way to go Ralph!

The Yard Job shoves the GM&O boxcar into the West Mill block and our ever growing outbound train. 

The transformer load is cut into the West Mill Block.

Last but not least the three PC covered hoppers are spotted here as the Rock Ridge yard block is doubled over to track #4. 
With the yard tracks now clear 1/87th scale PC Ralph brings the EBRR Alcos out of the wye and gets a thumbs up from Alco Joe.

1/87th scale PC Ralph, his conductor/brakeman and the six engine consist are back at an empty North Side Yard and greeted by none other than senior engineer Sir Neal. 1/87th scale Sir Neal has just returned from Rock Ridge Yard and assures everyone the line from Weehawken is now open.  

Which is a good thing as the power for our outbound train, Train NV-3 to Selkirk, is coming out of the engine terminal.

NV-3 heads out of Terminal Yard for Selkirk.

NV-3 jostles the cameraman as it passes thru Bedford!

Next stop Selkirk!!!

That wraps up the NYCTL's outbound portion of PCCM 66. We'll be back at it next weekend as the layouts receive their inbound cars and get to work delivering them to their respective destinations.

Be sure to follow the action on 

PC Ralph's Kings Port Division and
