Acknowledge dispatch of BP-12, BP-41, and MR-1.
West Mill out.
Its always enjoyable to see full autoracks leaving Ford with the NYC S-4 at the head end! I like Kar Knocker's truck! Clever and skilled switching moves by the crew of BP-41 serving Ford, All city Storage, and American Hardware. They get the job done in an efficient manner! Pretty neat loads/empties exchange at Hudson Coal by MR-1! Great railfanning all around!

DeleteThanks for the compliments Ralph!!! The NYC S-4 with auto racks is one of my favorites so even if it has no PCCM cars I had to film it. Good eye on Kar Knockers new wheels! 1:87 Mark has been working hard and with the trains getting longer and longer he was issued his own truck. Gotta keep the workforce happy.

Another great segment! The BP-12 passing Bedford Park is a favorite spot to view trains. The coal mine pull/shove was very cool, especially with the caboose in the middle for one part of the move. This segment was nice as you focused on two industries with like cars, a nice touch! The RS unit and S4 looked great going thru its paces…

DeleteThank you for the nice comments Sir Neal!! The BP-12 and its counterpart BP-41 are some of my favorite trains to run. The loads out empties in at Hudson Coal is another cool looking train and movement where I finally had a video worthy of posting.
