Penn Central Car Movements #100 Part 4 / The Inbound Cycle Begins

  Greetings All,

Welcome back to Penn Central Car Movements #100!!!

 

Our four layout virtual with my NYCTL interchanging freight cars with atjoe1972's Ralston Creek RR PC Ralph's Kings Port Division and Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific RR continues today with the arrival of our inbound trains.

The action starts at Bedford Station with Train SP-10, the first of three inbound trains from Selkirk heading towards Terminal Yard. 

The SP-10 rumbles thru Bedford and arrives at Terminal Yard.

The SP-10 power is an unfamiliar sight in the engine terminal early in the merger as engine hostler Wet Willie admires the arrival of the ex PRR six axle power. The 6557 was the only U Boat to wear the red "P".

Once again Kar Knocker and Big Mike get together to get the caboose removed and the train blue flagged and inspected.

With the inspection complete the Yard Job gets to work on breaking down the SP-10 freight consist.

A large block of empty APRR coal hoppers are shoved into track #6 for later movement to Hudson Coal.

Big Mike gets to work on the high priority TOFC traffic from the KP&W Williams Yard ramp.

The Yard Job works the Terminal Yard TOFC track

The TOFC cars are spotted for offloading.

The Yard Job is working on the remainder of the SP-10 freight consist. The TPFX #5510 is loaded with lumber for University Millwork in Bedford NY and has the honor of being PCCM car #1.

LV boxcar #8247 loaded with Delco batteries is blocked into Train BP-41 for delivery to the Bedford Park Ford Plant.

TPFX #5510 is blocked into train BT-27 for movement to University Millwork.

PC boxcar #360158 loaded with flour from Blue Ribbon Flour and WP boxcar #26846 loaded with sugar from Great Western Sugar are also blocked into Train BT-27 for delivery to the Hostess Plant.

UPFE reefer #458059 is set out for pick up by the 16A crew and movement to Yard A for perishable inspection.

The 16A crew makes its moves.

The 16A spots three empty EBRR 57' reefers at Birdseye for their next PCCM loads.

UPFE 57' reefer #45809 loaded with produce from Denargo Produce in Denver, CO is spotted in Yard A for perishable protection service inspection and refueling prior to being moved to Consolidated Grocery Distributors located in the Terminal Warehouse complex.

With a short lull in the action at Terminal Yard it's time to check in with Robert R working the steel track at the Bedford Park Ford Plant.

Robert has completed his work at the Ford Plant and awaits clearance at Bedford Tower to take Train BP-12 to Terminal Yard.

The BP-12 heads to Terminal Yard

The BP-12 arrives in Terminal Yard. The ex NYC RS11 is doing a good job working Bedford Park and may have found a new home.

The PC trainmen quickly get Train BP-41 ready to depart Terminal Yard with freight cars for the Ford Plant.

Train BP-41 heads to Bedford Park Yard with "shutdown" cars for the Bedford Park Ford Plant.

Robert R is back in Bedford Park delivering a non PCCM car of Kings Port Steel steel coils to the Ford Plant Steel track.

Robert R makes a runaround move to access the Ford Plant's shipping and receiving tracks.

LV boxcar #8247 loaded with Delco batteries is shoved into the Ford Plant siding.

We'll close it out here for today with Robert R tying down his engine and caboose and we thank him for all his years of PCCM service.

We'll pick it up tomorrow back in Terminal Yard starting with the dispatch of the Bedford Turn, Train BT-27.

Be sure to catch all of the PCCM 100 action on Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific RR, PC Ralph's Kings Port Division and atjoe 1972's Ralston Creek RR.
