Penn Central Car Movements #73 / N.Y.C.T.L. Part 2

Greetings All,

Welcome back to the Penn Central Car Movements Series #73!!!

P.C.C.M. #73, a three layout virtual ops with my N.Y.C.T.L. interchanging freight cars with PC Ralph's Kings Port Division and Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific RR, continues today on the Empire Belt RR. 

The Empire Belt RR trainmen talk things over in North Side Yard as they prepare to board their engines. 1/87th scale PC Ralph will handle the Morning Industrial Job in the GP30s. 1/87th scale senior engineer Sir Neal will handle the yard duties with the GE U23Cs 

1/87th scale PC Ralph brings the MIJ out of North Side Yard past Hohman Ave as he heads over to work the west side industries.

After leaving the rest of the train on the E.C. Viaduct the GP30s shove a GN 50'er thru the west side.

The MIJ pulls NYC 50' boxcar 80775 from Reliable Machine Co loaded with bulk parts for Peerless Appliance in Mayfield NY.

NYC 80775 is coupled into the MIJ and 1/87th scale PC Ralph brings the train east thru midtown.

The MIJ arrives on the east side of Empire City.

The MIJ is working the Gervais Pipe siding picking up two empty coil coaches going back to Kings Port Steel and PC gondola #288673 loaded with pipe for the Hudson Valley Ag CoOp.

The MIJ shoves back to Ralph's Grocery Warehouse. 

and pulls out empty PC boxcar #77047 and P&E boxcar #3638. These two cars will get spotted for their next P.C.C.M. loads in the inbound portion of this virtual op will be posted next weekend.

1/87th scale PC Ralph has the MIJ back together and heads over to  Empire Produce to pull EL 57' reefer #5034 loaded with fresh produce for C&P Rest Supply in Rock Ridge NJ. 

EL #5034 is coupled into the train.

The MIJ is shoving back to access the east side yard entrance Sitting on track 3 in train EB-2 are a pair of AP 50' RBLs going to C&P Restaurant Supply loaded with food from Ralph's Grocery Warehouse.

The MIJ rolls into North Side Yard on track 2. The two gons of pipe on track 3 are headed to Shapeless Steel in Rock Ridge NJ.

After a runaround move 1/87th scale PC Ralph has pulled the MIJ freight cars out of track 2 and coupled onto the freight cars in track 3 that are going to Terminal Yard in train EB-2. The guys have decided to build the train on the main so it doesn't foul the yard.

1/87th scale Sir Neal couples the U23Cs onto the head end of EB-2. The empty PC gons are heading for their next P.C.C.M. loads.

The GP30s couple up to the caboose to provide a shove to get the train moving.

1/87th scale Sir Neal brings the EB-2 onto the High Line.

And 1/87th scale PC Ralph cuts off on the fly!

Catch EB-2 passing Bedford Station

EB-2 arrives at Terminal Yard.

We'll cut it here for today with 1/87th scale conductor John turning in his waybills at the yard office as Sir Neal waits by the 6720 to head back to North Side Yard caboose light.

We'll close it out tomorrow with the Terminal Yard crew working hard to get our two outbound trains put together and dispatched.

Be sure to follow the action on PC Ralph's Kings Port Division and Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific RR.

Thanks for reading and watching!!!

See ya tomorrow!!!
