Penn Central Car Movements #87 / NYCTL Part 2

 Greetings All,

Welcome back to Penn Central Car Movements #87!!!

Our two layout virtual operation with PC Ralph's Kings Port Division interchanging freight cars with my New York Central Layout continues today. Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific RR remains out of service with the ongoing signal upgrades.

We open up today with Train EC-1, a daily transfer to the Empire Belt RRs North Side Yard in Empire City, departing Terminal Yard.

Train EC-1 heads to North Side Yard.

GP38 #2010 and SD35 #6018 bring EC-1 into North Side Yard. The 2010 is ex PRSL #2010 that came to the PC when EMD pulled a five unit order from the PRSL around August 1970 due to credit issues. EMD decided that the bankrupt PC was more credit worthy and the PC was allowed to assume ownership. The 6018 is an ex PRR unit.

The caboose is reclaimed and the consist heads back to Terminal Yard as Train EC-2.

With EC-2 out of the away the Empire Belt Morning Industrial Job has left the yard and is now on the Empire City secondary track.

The EBRR MIJ shoves into the eastside industrial complex to work Gervais Pipe and pulls two empty Evans Coil Cars for return to Kings Port Steel and PC gondola #288673 loaded with pipe for the Hudson Valley Co Op.

Three empty B&M RBLs get pulled from Ralph's Grocery Warehouse for return to the B&M at Merrimack, NH.

The MIJs next move is to work the midtown siding and pull this PC depressed flat #766053 loaded with an excavator for Sal's Salvage. 

If I'm not mistaken Sal remains the prime suspect in a recent  Caterpillar Excavator theft!!

The MIJ is now pulling cars from the Empire Produce siding. The HRC 50' RBL and EL 50' reefer are loaded with fresh produce for Van Winkle Canning and the BAR 5226 is an empty.

The Morning Industrial Job is back together and ready to head back to North Side Yard. 

The MIJ is on the move!

The EBRR trainmen have organized the yard and Train EB-2, a daily transfer to the Penn Central's Terminal Yard is preparing to depart.

Three gondolas of pipe for Tropicana, an empty IC boxcar, two APRR RBLs loaded with packaged food and an EL 57' reefer loaded with produce consigned to C&P Restaurant Supply are added to the EB-2.

The EB-2 rumbles across the Empire City viaduct.

Train EB-2 roll thru Bedford NY towards Terminal Yard.

With the train meet complete the Coal Job, Train CJ-1, starts pulling loaded hoppers from Hudson Coal. The PRR, NYC and six more hoppers of coal will be going to Corning Glass in corning NY.

The last of the loads get pulled out.

The CJ-1 crosses onto the main at Bedford Tower.

The CJ-1 shoves the empty hoppers back to Hudson Coal.

The empty hoppers are spotted.

The Coal Job is back together and pumping up the air.

We'll close it out today with the Coal Job heading back to Terminal Yard as Train CJ-2.

Tomorrow we'll turn it over to the Terminal Yard trainmen to make our final moves and dispatch our outbound trains.

Be sure to follow the action on PC Ralph's Kings Port Division!

See ya tomorrow!!!
