Penn Central Car Movements #90 / Part 5

 Greetings All,

Welcome Back to Penn Central Car Movements #90

The PCCM 90 virtual op with my NYCTL layout interchanging freight cars with PC Ralph's Kings Port Division continues today with part two of my inbound portion.

We open up inbound day 2 at Bedford Park Yard with engineer Robert R getting ready to board ex PRR Baldwin S12 #8195. 

Robert R and his crew have collected the outbound traffic from Bedford Park. They get clearance at Bedford Tower and head to Terminal Yard as Train BP-12.

Train BP-12 heads to Terminal Yard.

The BP-12 rolls into Terminal Yard as Kar Knocker inspects the incoming train.

Robert R once again does the quick BP-12/BP-41 turnaround as he couples up to cars for Bedford Park. This local train is "hot" as the coil cars are going to Ford Plant and woe to the person who interrupts the assembly line process.

The tail end rolls out of the yard with a pair of PC boxcars protecting the crew from the tank car with Freon, a flammable gas.

Train BP-14 heads to Bedford Park.

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

The tank car is spotted at the tank car track using the coil coaches as a buffer or handle to keep the tank car away from the locomotive.

The two coil coaches loaded with steel coils from Kings Port Steel in Kings Port NY are shoved into the Ford Steel Track.

Robert R ties down his locomotive and train in Bedford Park Yard. The empty PC boxcars will be used to fulfill empty car requests in Bedford Park or head back to Terminal Yard in the next train out.

Over at Terminal Yard engine hostler Wet Willie is two for two in twenty-two with Alco Joe putting a pair of Alco RS2s on Train BT-27, the Bedford Turn.

Next we catch the BT-27 on "the slide" shoving empty EL boxcar #73510 up the grade towards T&R Gravel.

EL boxcar #73510 is spotted at T&R Gravel for its next PCCM load, bagged iron ore for Port Owen Brick. This car will be outbound in PCCM 91.

Alco Joe brings the BT-27 into Bedford.

The BT-27 makes the long pull out of the Bedford industry siding.

PC boxcar #229036 loaded with bulk cardboard from International Paper gets spotted at Berk Industries

PC boxcar #360158 loaded with bagged flour from Blue Ribbon Flour in Kings Port NY is spotted at the Hostess/ Wonder Bread Plant.

Alco Joe brings the RS2s onto the main without having to wait. That's a rare occurrence!!

Alco Joe runs down the main to get to the head end of the train.

The RS-2s are coupled on and Train BT-27 gets ready to head back to Terminal Yard.

Train BT-27 heads back to Terminal Yard.

We'll close it out here today with Alco Joe bringing the BT-27 into Terminal Yard as the ever diligent Kar Knocker is out to inspect the train. 

We'll pick it up tomorrow with the dispatch of Train EC-1 to the Empire Belt RRs North Side Yard and turn it over to the EBRR crew.

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

Thanks for reading and watching!!!

See you tomorrow!!!
