Greetings All,
Welcome back to the Inbound portions of our
68th Penn Central Car Movement series!!!
and my NYCTL.
We pick up the action at the Empire Belt RRs North Side Yard with 1/87th scale Big Mike and Robert R reclaiming their caboose and preparing for departure.
Over at Bedford we find Train BT-27 / BP-12 at work with 1/87th scale Alco Joe and his Centuries coming at us in a runaround move.
The Alcos are now on the Bedford Secondary and ready to shove into the Bedford Park Yard lead.
EC-1 meets BT-27 / BP-12 at Bedford Station
EC-1 6718 with caboose in tow arrives at Terminal Yard.
1/87th scale Robert R protects the shove into the engine terminal wye as the 6718 is turned for its next assignment.
1/87th scale Big Mike and Robert R get their next assignment from the yard master as Alco Joe brings the BT-27 / BP-12 back into Terminal Yard.
The Centuries are run into the engine terminal as the PC 9999 in front of the shop couples up to empty GM&O 40' boxcar #21129 that delivered the 55 gal drums of lube oil from Kings Port Gulf.
It's now time to turn our attention over to Bedford Park Yard as we see the venerable Alco S4 warming up.
The S4 has coupled on to the freight cars left on the lead earlier and pulls them into the tight confines of Bedford Park Yard.
Two Evans Breadbox Trough Coil Steel Coaches loaded with steel coils from Kings Port Steel are spotted on the Ford steel track.
The BPY crew has done a runaround move and begins spotting three NYC 50' double door boxcars at All City Storage.
The NYC 50'ers loaded with appliances from Peerless Appliance in Mayfield NY require precision spotting for unloading.
The three NYC cars are spotted next to each other.
The forklift operator and dock workers will unload all three cars by using steel plate bridges between the cars.
We'll close it out here today with the All City Storage forklift operator and dock workers making fast time unloading all three cars by using the steel plate bridges between the cars.
We'll pick it up tomorrow with the EBRR and LIRR working with the rest of the inbound NYCTL P.C.C.M. 68 freight cars.
Tomorrow's installment will wrap up the NYCTLs portion of P.C.C.M. 68.
Be sure to follow the action on

I'm enjoying the coverage of new U23C 6718! Nice to see it as part of a meet in the video. Great work setting up the three NYC double door cars for efficient unloading at All City Storage. The open door shot with the forklift was a neat touch! Also liked the Alco smoke from the S4!

DeleteThanks for the compliments Ralph! The 6718 is performing well. The three NYC boxcars are All City Storage is always one of my favorite switching moves.

The action around All-City Storage shows the hard work the guys put in to get the goods off the cars. The meet at Bedford station - nice work.
