Greetings All,
Welcome back to Penn Central Car Movements #77!!
The inbound portion of this three layout virtual op with my New York Central Train Layout interchanging freight cars with PC Ralph's Kings Port Division and Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific Railroad continues today.
We open up at Terminal Yard with a Penn Central F7 A-B-A pulling out block one of Train EC-1, a daily transfer run to Empire City.
Block two of EC-1 gets coupled on.
The F7 A-B-A consist brings the EC-1 onto the Bedford Secondary.
Train EC-1 heads for North Side Yard
The EC-1 arrives at the Empire Belt RR's North Side Yard in Empire City. Engineer ATJOE checks in with the EBRR trainmen. 
ATJOE collects his caboose and conductor and heads back to Terminal Yard caboose lite.
It's all hands on for the EBRR to get this large inbound train sorted and blocked for local deliveries and interchange with the LIRR.
Engineer Sir Neal couples up and the Morning Industrial Job's work begins.
The inbound freight cars have been sorted for local deliveries as engineer Sir Neal brings the remainder of the cars back into the yard.
The Morning Industrial Job is working the G&R siding spotting steel coil coaches from Kings Port Steel at Gervais Pipe & Fitting.
Being spotted at Ralph's Grocery Warehouse are two cars loaded with baked goods from Freihofer's Bakery, HRC 50 RBL and EL reefer #5034. AP #58279 loaded with restaurant supplies from C&P Rest Supply is the center car spotted for unloading.
The MIJ is now at Neal's Hardware & Lumber pulling out EBRR #358160 loaded with plywood veneers for Mike's Lumber in Rock Ridge NJ.
P&E boxcar #3638 loaded with bricks from Port Owen Brick is now spotted at Neal's Lumber & Hardware.
Engineer Sir Neal brings the Morning Industrial Job west.
The MIJ comes over the Empire City Viaduct to access the west side industries.
After a couple of moves the freight cars are in position for delivery.
Empty EBRR boxcar #360279 is spotted at Reliable Machine Co for it's next P.C.C.M. load.
PC boxcar #142770 is spotted back Superior Furniture for continued P.C.C.M. loading.
Empty NH boxcar #36116 is spotted at City Pallet for it's next P.C.C.M. load.
The west side work is done and the MIJ is back together.
Sir Neal brings the MIJ thru midtown and heads back to the yard.
The MIJ is back in North Side Yard on track #1.
Some car switching gets the yard ready for tomorrow's installment.
We'll cut it here for today with the engines coupled up to the P.C.C.M. cars still awaiting local delivery and tied down for the day.
We'll conclude the op tomorrow starting at Bedford Park Yard. Then we'll check back with the EBRR at North Side Yard as they deal with local deliveries and a pending freight car interchange with the LIRR.

Acknowledge dispatch of EC-1 and the Morning Industrial Job.
West Mil out.
Sweet looking F7 A-B-A set on EC-1! That was an unusually large transfer train to North Side. Business is booming! Very nice switching work by the crew of the MIJ. Among other things I noticed how well the crane augments the Gervais Pipe scene! Is this the first load of Port Owen Bricks to Neal's Lumber and Hardware? Glad to be a business partner! Also happy to see EBRR #360279 back in service after being "bad ordered". Most enjo9yable read this afternoon!

DeleteThanks for the compliments Ralph! The crane has found a home at Gervais Pipe! You're right, business is booming at Empire City! You maybe right about the Port Owen Brick delivery to Neal's! We know the troubles of the 360279! Happy to have it back in service.
