P.C.C.M. 70C Part 3 / Conclusion

Greetings All,

Welcome back to P.C.C.M. 70!!

Today this three layout virtual op featuring 

1:1 Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific RR and 

1:1 PC Ralph's Kings Port Division 

enters its third and final day of virtual operation.

We open up our final installment at North Side Yard in Empire City NY with the 1/87th scale Empire Belt trainmen having their daily briefing.

1/87th scale senior engineer Sir Neal draws the Morning Industrial Job (MIJ) assignment in his familiar GP9s. Below he is coupling up to the three Penn Central RBL boxcars.

1/87th scale conductor John releases the brakes on the caboose and is ready to protect the shove move out of the yard.

The Morning Industrial Job (MIJ) crosses from the mainline onto the industrial running track.

The MIJ is working the east side industrial complex and shoving the PC RBL boxcars loaded with juice products from Tropicana in Rock Ridge NJ into the siding. 

A gondola loaded with pipe is shoved back to Ralph's Grocery Warehouse to pull empty P&LE boxcar #35892 for it's next P.C.C.M. load.

With the juice spotted at Ralph's Grocery Warehouse 1/87th scale Sir Neal orders a meatball sandwich to go as the other EBRR trainmen take advantage of the lunch special at Pizza Land.

A short time later the MIJ heads west on the industrial running track with four freight cars and two hot sandwiches.

1/87th scale Sir Neal brings the MIJ to a stop in North Side Yard on track #3. Time for beans!! Or meatball sandwiches!

A short time later the daily Long Island Railroad Transfer run from Bliss Yard comes around the west side heading for North Side Yard

 The LIRR RS-1 brings the freight train into yard track #2.

Slowly rolling up track #2 the RS-1 couples onto the PC gondola and the rest of the cars heading back to Bliss Yard.

1/87th scale PC Ralph's trusty conductor / brakeman comes out to swap paperwork and admonish the LIRR engineer for his bad timing today. "Whaddaya bothering us for now, we're eating" Then he does the right thing and invites the LIRR crew in for some pizza.

With full stomachs the LIRR crew reclaims it's caboose. That sharp looking Tropicana RBL Boxcar is loaded with juice products from Tropicana in Rock Ridge NJ and heading for the A&P Warehouse in Garden City NY.

The LIRR RS-1 pulls the train out of the yard. The two PC gons loaded with steel slabs from Shapeless Steel in Rock Ridge NJ are going to Mid Island Steel in Medford NY 

The LIRR train heads across the Empire City viaduct.

The LIRR Transfer heads thru Bedford back towards Bliss Yard and that ends the NYCTL's portions of P.C.C.M. 70.

But wait! There's More!!! 

Catch the LIRR's inbound and outbound run 
with a surprise ending here

And we have special bonus coverage of 1/87th scale Robert R completing his first day as an engineer!!

1/87th scale Robert R is back in the confines of Bedford Park Yard and is spotting two empty auto racks at the Ford Plant.

The third autorack is shoved into the tiny Bedford Park Yard and 1/87th scale engineer Robert R ties down the train here completing his first day on the job. Nice work!!

After work the guys all gather at Moriarty's Pub & Restaurant to celebrate Robert R's promotion and first day as an engineer. That's how we do things on the NYCTL!!!
