Welcome back for my final P.C.C.M. 66 installment!
Today we'll finish getting our inbound freight cars from
Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific RR and
PC Ralph's Kings Port Division
to their respective destinations.
A little operational twist starts today for the Empire Belt RR crew. In order to increase efficiency and decrease dwell time the Penn Central has stopped blocking cars at Terminal Yard for the Empire City industries ending a years long unspoken agreement between the two railroads.
The crew for Train EC-1 (Terminal Yard to Empire City) readies for departure as 1/87th scale Big Mike and Robert R return to the yard caboose lite.
EC-1 rolls thru Bedford NY passing a six engine power move.
EC-1 gets a highball at Bedford Tower from 1/87th scale John B.
EC-1 comes thru the west side of Empire City.
EC-1 arrives at North Side Yard where they will drop off their freight cars for the Empire Belt RR to make the final deliveries.
EC-1 heads back to Terminal Yard caboose lite.
The 1/87th scale trainmen sans Senior Engineer Sir Neal have coupled up their motive power and get ready to deliver the last of the P.C.C.M. 66 freight cars. 1/87th scale PC Ralph makes the decision to sort the cars as they go since there are only seven.
1/87th scale PC Ralph brings the EBRRs Afternoon Industrial Job onto the industrial running track.
The A.I.J drops their cabooses on the east side
Now at Neal's Lumber & Hardware 1/87th scale conductor John and the brakeman are working to get the EBRR boxcar delivered.

The A.I.J. heads for home as it crosses the over the High Line.
The Afternoon Industrial Job returns to North Side Yard and that wraps up the NYCTL's Inbound portion of P.C.C.M. 66.

Rock Ridge Yard Out!
Put it in the books! The EBRR show how to shine in the face of adversity by handling the cars from Terminal Yard. The PC last minute termination agreement is a big blow and we know the N.Y.C.T.L. and E.B.R.R. will make things happen.
Nice to see the setup for future P.C.C.M. over at Gervais Pipe and more. EB Engine #6295 looks like she's ready for anything thrown at her. Looks great on the High Line.
A report has just come in stating that Freihofer will be gearing up for holiday orders so let your customers know as they will shut down in Mid- December for it's annual maintenance and cleaning! We're letting them know as well!
