I like the meets that you have at Bedford as it highlights all the action that takes place on the NYCTL. Very impressive CJ-1 and CJ-2 trains with a lot of motive power. The image of Hudson Coal with all of those hopper cars waiting to be loaded is a testament to what you’ve accomplished on the layout. Nice to see TE-16 made the appearance, I was getting worried it wasn’t going to arrive at Terminal Yard! (smiling)!
Great work Sir John!!

DeleteThank you for the compliments 1:1 Sir Neal!
There is some big time railroading happening in PCCM 100 across the layouts. It's been much fun and I too was happy to see the TE-16!

Three inbound trains with PCCM cars from Selkirk to Terminal mean a lot of car forwarding on the N.Y.C.T.L.! The Bedford Turn does a nice job working with its share! Coal traffic was heavy in this series and the CJ-1/CJ-2 loads out/ empties move was great rail action to observe! Its also been fun to follow the travels of first PCCM car TPFX #5510! Train meets and lots of switching action make this installment a pleasure to read!

DeleteThanks for the compliments Ralph!!! Coal traffic has definitely been heavy in PCCM 100 and should continue to be heavy in PCCM 101. I was very happy you included the TPFX 5510 in this op and it was scheduled for movements on my layout.
