Greetings All,
Welcome back to Penn Central Car Movements #93!!!
Our three layout virtual op with my NYCTL interchanging freight traffic with 1:1 Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific RR and PC Ralph's Kings Port Division continues today with deliveries of our inbound trains.
We open up at Terminal Yard with Wet Willie letting Alco Joe know that the other RS-2 in the engine terminal is out of service and this is the only Alco left to power today's Bedford Turn, train BT-27.
The Bedford Turn departs Terminal Yard.
Conductor Murray guides the BT-27 into the Bedford industrial siding to make the long pull.
With the siding cleared, empty AP boxcar #58260 is spotted at University Millwork for its next PCCM load.
Across from Bedford Station the BT-27 pulls non PCCM cars from the Schaefer/ Neubaum's siding.
With Train SP-10 now in the yard Alco Joe has the Bedford Turn back together and prepares to return to Terminal Yard.
It's a busy time in Terminal Yard with both the BT-27 and SP-10 in the yard and ready to be worked. Big Mike has coupled up to the SP-10 caboose, Kar Knocker is ready to inspect the train and conductor Murray gives the guys a friendly wave. 
Alco Joe returns the RS-2 to the engine terminal and confers with engine hostler Wet Willie.
Both the empty APRR and EBRR 86'ers will be forwarded back to IDEAL Auto Parts in Rock Ridge NJ for their next PCCM loads in a future PCCM.
Robert R holds at Bedford Tower and awaits clearance to proceed to Terminal Yard as Train BP-12.
Train BP-12 heads to Terminal Yard.
It's another fast turnaround as Robert R couples up to the next hot cars needed at the Bedford Park Ford Plant.
Train BP-41A heads to Bedford Park Yard.
The BP-41A arrives in the cozy confines of Bedford Park Yard.
The first PCCM rush car of auto parts shoved into the Ford Plant siding is this PRR 86'er.
With the Ford Plant assembly line humming along we'll cut it here for today as Robert R ties down the 8598 in Bedford Park Yard.
Be sure to catch all the action on Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific RR and PC Ralph's Kings Port Division!

RS2 #8369 was enough power for today's Turn but we hope its sister unit is back on the rails soon! Murry gets the nod as the Friendly Conductor on the N.Y.C.T.L.! Maybe he'd be a positive influence on the cantankerous Fingers O' Malley at West Mill! SP-10 was an impressively long train bringing in a lot of work for Terminal Yard's crews. The Kings Port Railfan Society is getting around in this series. Terminal Yard is a favorite hot spot! TC and the guys appreciated the horn salute from BP-12!

DeleteThanks Ralph!!! The KPRS guys have become well known in these parts and are always respectful of the train operations and personnel around them. I think they get a big kick out of conductor Murray waving to them and listening to Big Mike and Kar Knocker on the radio.
