Greetings All,
Welcome back to Penn Central Car Movements #92
PCCM 92 , our one weekend virtual coal op with empty coal trains coming to the NYCTL from 1:1 Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific RR and PC Ralph's Kings Port Division continues today with loaded coal trains heading back to the APRR and KPD layouts.
Extra 4348 prepares to depart Terminal Yard for Selkirk with loaded coal hoppers consigned to the Bow, NH Power Plant.
Extra 4348 heads for Selkirk.
Extra 4348 gets a highball at Bedford Tower. Next stop Selkirk!!!
Once again the ex PRR SD9s get the call for a mine run. The engines are enjoying a carbon cleaning and are showcasing their six axle pulling power.
Empty hopper train MR-3 departs Terminal Yard.
The first stop is to pull four loaded PC PS2 covered hoppers from T&R Gravel. They are loaded with locomotive sand for the APRR's Richmond Hill Engine Terminal.
The PS2 hoppers are shoved into Hudson Coal.
The SD9s show their strength pulling a long cut from Hudson Coal.
The empties are spotted and the coal cycle continues.
The Terminal Yard yardmaster is out to talk things over with Kar Knocker and Big Mike. Upon completion of the car inspection he wants the entire consist of MR-4 coupled up to the ballast hoppers on track #4 in the background and readied for departure.
Loaded hopper train MR-4 builds up the air and prepares to head back to Terminal Yard.
The MR-4 heads back to Terminal Yard.
Train MR-4 brings the loaded hoppers into Terminal Yard and over the weigh in motion scale.
The coal hoppers are coupled onto the ballast hoppers in track #4.
The engines couple up with GP40 3175 leading.
This wraps up the NYCTL's PCCM 92 participation and the op is turned back over to the Kings Port Division and Atlantic Pacific RR.

Coal is king on the N.Y.C.T.L. this weekend as another big loads and empties exchange is made at Hudson Coal! I am liking the pair of SD9s on MR-3/4 again using their six axle power to move the hoppers. I enjoy the ops details like Kar Knocker's train inspections that add to the realism of the car movements. The black and orange ballast hoppers are a nice addition to the coal ops as well! Great job managing all of those cola hoppers as the "middle man" and coal supplier in this series!

DeleteThanks for the compliments Ralph!!! Kar Knocker has been worked hard this series and I'm happy to read that his efforts to enhance the ops is paying off. He'll probably demand a new truck or a raise now! This was a good op that I was happy to participate in. Juggling the empties and loads in and out to you and Sir Neal was a bit tricky but once we talked it over it came together nicely I think.

It’s a wrap! That’s quite a train coming back to Rock Ridge Yard. There are a multitude of train crews that will be ready for the inbound freight train to Rock Ridge Yard. The Terminal Yard crew did an outstanding job getting the train checked out for departure. 1:87 Norman will be very happy to hear that more sand is on the way, as he is the caretaker at the Richmond Hill Engine Terminal! Great job Sir John!

DeleteThank you very much 1:1 Sir Neal!!! Extra 3175 was indeed a good looking train and I'm happy we remembered the NYC mineral service caboose this time.
