Penn Central Car Movements #76 / N.Y.C.T.L. Part 8 / The L.I.R.R. Wraps It Up

 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 concludes today. Finally!!!😀

We open up our final installment at Bedford Park Yard where engineer Robert R gets the word that the Ford Plant needs a switch, delivery of two auto parts cars and a carload of vehicle batteries.

Robert R drags a pair of non P.C.C.M. empty tank cars going to Terminal Yard from the Bedford Park Yard and heads towards the Ford Plant to begin the switching moves.

Four empty 60' boxcars are pulled from Ford for return to ACME and IDEAL Auto Parts. The tank cars are placed between the boxcars for crew safety.

Robert R gets clearance at Bedford Tower to take Train BP-12A to Terminal Yard.

BP-12A heads for Terminal Yard

Train BP-12A arrives at Terminal Yard and the engine is cut off.

Robert R pulls out the cars he needs for the Ford Plant.

The caboose is reclaimed and Train BP-41A leaves Terminal Yard.

BP-41A heads back to Bedford Park Yard

BP-41A is back in Bedford Park Yard making a runaround move.

NYC and PRR 86' boxcars of auto parts from ACME Auto Parts in Mayfield NY are shoved into the Ford Plant siding.

Lehigh Valley boxcar #8247 loaded with batteries from Delco is spotted on the Ford Plant siding.

Robert R ties down his engine and caboose and this closes out the Bedford Park portion of this virtual op.

Next we turn our attention to Terminal Yard where engine hostler Wet Willie couples up the power for Train EC-3, a daily transfer run to the Empire Belt RR's North Side Yard.  

EC-3 heads to Empire City

Train EC-3 arrives at North Side Yard.

The engines run around the train.

The EC-3 engines reclaim their caboose with assistance from PC Ralph as conductor John checks the waybills and Sir Neal watches from the 6294.

Trains meet in Bedford

The Long Island RR Transfer rolls into Terminal Yard and gets a roll by inspection from Sir Neal and PC Ralph.

L.I.R.R. caboose #12 gets tacked on to the outbound cars going to the L.I.R.R. Once again PC Ralph lends a helping hand while conductor John delivers the waybills.

The inbound freight cars from the L.I.R.R. are spotted on track #2. The locomotives are tied down on the yard lead as engineer Jimmy Alco tends to some emergency business. 

That's Jimmy Alco making a quick run to Pizza Land to pick up a phone in order from the L.I.R.R. trainmen back in Bliss Yard!

With meatball heroes, calzones and veal parm heroes secured in the engine compartment to keep them warm Jimmy Alco couples up to the outbound freight cars and heads out.

The LIRR Transfer eases around the west side curve.  

Jimmy Alco heads for home!

Next stop Bliss Yard!!!

With an engine compartment of hot Italian food, six 57' reefers for Pilgrim State Hospital....

Two 50' AP reefers for P.S.H., a pair of gondolas with poles for LILCO and an EL boxcar of bricks for Gotham Building Supply round out the P.C.C.M. part of the consist.

Put it in the books!!
