Penn Central Car Movements #77 / N.Y.C.T.L. Part 8 / Conclusion of Virtual Op

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 concludes today.

We open up early in the morning with Robert R pulling empty EBRR and APRR 86' boxcars from the Bedford Park Ford Plant.

Robert R gets clearance from the Bedford Towerman to proceed to Terminal Yard as Train BP-12.

Train BP-12 heads for Terminal Yard

BP-12 rolls into Terminal Yard. The empty EBRR and APRR 86'ers will head back to IDEAL Auto Parts in Rock Ridge NJ for reloading in a future P.C.C.M.

Robert R has coupled up his Alco S4 to this six car freight train for Bedford Park Yard and will depart as Train BP-41.

Train BP-41 heads to Bedford Park Yard.

Train BP-41 breezes past Bedford Station.

Robert R brings BP-41 into the tight confines of Bedford Park Yard.

After runaround move #1 three cars are placed in the yard.

After runaround move #2 the auto parts cars get shoved into the Ford Plant

AP 86027, EBRR 508327 and AP 615827 loaded with auto parts from IDEAL are spotted at the Ford Plant.

After picking up the three cars placed earlier in the yard AP 40' boxcars 4182 and 4035 loaded with a replenishment supply of bulk hardware from American Hardware Supply in Rock Ridge NJ are spotted at the Bedford Park American Hardware Supply.

Robert R spots the loaded Cancer Awareness Car at All City Storage which concludes the action at Bedford Park but not our support for Cancer Awareness.

Next we catch engineer Sir Neal bringing today's Morning Industrial Job out of North Side Yard and onto the industrial running track.

Now working the G&R siding a pair of empty coil coaches get pulled from Gervais Pipe & Fitting for return to Kings Port Steel.

Empty HRC, AP and EL freight cars get pulled out of the Ralph's Grocery Warehouse siding for their next P.C.C.M. loads.

Now spotted at Ralph's Grocery Warehouse are three PC RBLs loaded with juice products from Tropicana in Rock Ridge NJ.

APRR and EBRR 52' gondolas are spotted at Gervais Pipe & Fitting for their next P.C.C.M. loads.

Engineer Sir Neal ties down the Morning Industrial Job on the industrial running track to await the arrival of the LIRR Transfer.

Two Alco RS units bring the LIRR Transfer thru Bedford.

The LIRR comes around the west side curve as they roll towards North Side Yard.

Engineer Jimmy Alco has cut the engines from the train and checks in with the EBRR trainmen where paperwork, RR gossip like the recent "incident at West Mill" and lunch recommendations will be exchanged.

Moriarty's famous fish & chips gets the nod for today's lunch fare.

Jimmy Alco is back in the cab and couples up to the outbound freight cars for Long Island industries; PC Hi Cube 272742 loaded with appliances for Gimbels, LV 7120 loaded with fresh produce for Jamaica Foods, Corning hopper empty for W Hills Silica Sand and Cargill / TDLX hopper loaded with flour for Ronzoni. 

The LIRR heads out of town via the west side curve.

The LIRR heads for home

Put it in the books!!!

That wraps up the N.Y.C.T.L.'s portion of P.C.C.M #77. Don't despair though there is plenty of action still continuing on Ralph's  Kings Port Division and Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific Railroad has finished it's moves in style.

Thanks for reading and watching!!!

 See ya soon!!!
