Penn Central Car Movements #76 / N.Y.C.T.L. Part 7 / Empire City Action

 Greetings All,

Welcome back to Penn Central Car Movements #76!

The three layout virtual op with my N.Y.C.T.L. interchanging freight cars with PC Ralph's Kings Port Division and Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific RR the inbound portion of the op continues today.

We open up at the Penn Central Terminal Yard with PC Train EC-1, a daily transfer run to the Empire Belt RR's North Side Yard in Empire City, pulling out of track #2.

EC-1 rolls towards Empire City


F7A 1645 brings EC-1 into North Side Yard.

The EC-1 engines are cut off and head east out of the yard.


After reclaiming their caboose the EC-1 engines head back to Terminal Yard.


The Empire Belt RR trainmen make their plans and senior engineer Sir Neal in the white shirt and conductor John get the Morning Industrial Job (MIJ) assignment.


Sir Neal and PC Ralph block the MIJ for today's train moves.


Sir Neal brings the MIJ onto the industrial running track.


The MIJ starts working the G&R siding on Empire City's east side.


The following cars are spotted at Ralph's Grocery Warehouse;
EBRR 358160 loaded with paper products from Marcal.
PC 142770 loaded with paper products from Marcal
USLX 13068 loadedwith juice products from Tropicana 

Spotted at Gervais Pipe & Fitting for their P.C.C.M. loads are three APRR gondolas and one PC gondola.
Now working Neal's Lumber and Hardware two EBRR boxcars loaded with bulk hardware from American Hardware Supply in Rock Rodge NJ get shoved in as a new power pole is now in place. 

The MIJ heads is back together.

The MIJ heads west.


Coming over the Empire City viaduct Sir Neal eyes the congested west side industrial complex.
Being spotted at Superior Furniture by the MIJ are AP #58260 loaded with lumber from Mike's Lumber in Rock Ridge NJ and PC #360158 loaded with console TVs from Zenith.
The MIJ starts working the two long west side sidings.
Being spotted at Drywell Inks are NYC #80775 and LV #66392 both are loaded with new 55 gal drums from A.C.C.O.
Spotted at Moore & Co is this NYC Pacemaker boxcar loaded with machine parts from Quality Fabrications.
After a couple of more moves TP&W #627 is spotted at Walsh Steel Wool with barrels of cutting oil from the Gulf River Facility.

The MIJ is back together and includes RI #35062 loaded with drums of ink from Drywell Inks for the Catskill Mountain Press.

We'll cut it her for today with the MIJ tied down on the industrial running track as the EBRR trainmen get ready for inbound trains from Terminal Yard and the Long Island RR that we'll cover tomorrow when we close this virtual op out.

Be sure to catch the P.C.C.M. #76 action on

    Acknowledge dispatch of EC-1 out of Terminal Yard and the MIJ out of North Side.

    West Mill out.

    The second photo of EC-1 by the signal bridge and ACI scanner looks like an NYC Calendar shot! Nice one! The cigar band always looks good! The MIJ was a long train this time! Traffic patterns have given the North Side train a lot to do! Great switching work all over the city! Glad to see Empire City Utilities are on the ball getting that power pole up again. Neat mini scene after it was knocked down recently!

    The MIJ did a great job getting the freight delivered. Did I notice a new EB box car in white located by Moore & Co.? Looks neat! Nice video as the MIJ heads west, track level view was great.
