Greetings All,
Welcome back to Penn Central Car Movements #83!!!
The Inbound cycle of our 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 continues today.
We open up today at Terminal Yard with Big Mike running the yard job and setting the field for our local trains.
Big Mike starts to work the freight consist from yesterday's TY-2. In the background empty EBRR and PC boxcars were put into trains EC-1 and BT-27 while some of the FAST 50 auto parts cars are ready to go when called for by the Ford Plant.
Big Mike has the TY-2 broken down and blocked into trains EC-1 and BT-27. The blocking of cars at Rock Ridge, West Mill and Selkirk has streamlined today's yard operations. The yard job is now shoving a block of cars to Terminal Warehouse and Cold Storage.
NPM 50' reefer #473 and EL 57' reefer #5034 loaded with frozen foods from ShopRite are spotted for unloading.
Over in the engine terminal Alco Joe has been called for today's EC-1, a daily transfer run to North Side Yard, and verifies with engine hostler Wet Willie that he will be running this Alco set.
Alco Joe has brought the EC-1 into North Side Yard and checks in with the Empire Belt crew.
The Bedford Turn arrives in Bedford
The BT-27 shoves into the Bedford Industrial Siding.
Be sure to catch the action on PC Ralph's Kings Port Division and Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific RR.

The enormous Terminal Warehouse and Cold Storage provides a lot of switching opportunities right at the yard! Good to see that Alco Joe actually gets Alcos for his train this time! Nice power consist on that train and it was a pleasure watching it run light in the meet with BT-27. Locals get the job done on the N.Y.C.T.L.!

DeleteThanks for the compliments Ralph!!! The enormous several stories high TW&C with over twenty car spots can and often does provide some cool switching operations. This was one of my better model railroad ideas. By far!

Another RDC photo bomb! Nice work by Big Mike, Alco Joe and the rest of the crew turning the freight around. Nice meet in Bedford with BT-27 and EC-1 running light back to the yard. I like how much freight Terminal Warehouse is able to handle. It’s a great complex!

DeleteThanks for the compliments 1:1 Sir Neal! Glad you enjoyed the photobomb and lite engine BT-27 meet! TW&C is starting to play a bigger and bigger role in our ops as new freight cars have come into play. With 20 plus car spots and plenty of square footage it offers manufacturers good space as well as warehousing and cold storage. Like I told PC Ralph, this was one of my better layout ideas!
