Penn Central Car Movement #100 Part 7 / Final Deliveries and Interchange

 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 concludes today with the Penn Central 16A starting us off and then we'll follow train EC-1 to North Side Yard to make the final interchange with the Long Island RR.

The day starts in Yard A with the 16A crew delivering BRMX reefer #5298 to Terminal Yard for movement to North Side Yard and interchange with the Long Island RR. The Alco FAs have been given a reprieve from being trade in fodder and now toil away in Yard A.

BRMX #5298 is shoved into Train EC-1.

Over in the engine terminal Alco Joe has once again been called for Train EC-1 and checks out the available motive power with engine hostler Wet Willie.

Alco Joe's high horsepower six axle three engine motive power choice for todays transfer run raises some Terminal Yard management eyebrows but Alco Joe is looking forward to some SD40 throttle time. 

Train EC-1 heads to North Side Yard.

The EBRR guys checkout the big power bringing train EC-1 into North Side Yard. In a few years the EBRR will turn to six axle power as tonnage increases.

Alco Joe and conductor Murray have delivered the EC-1 waybills and the 6102 is coupled onto the caboose. We thank all of the trainmen below for their many years of PCCM service as some are are almost eligible to start collecting model railroad retirement.

Alco Joe and conductor Murray head back to Terminal Yard.

A short time later in Bedford, NY Long Island RR Train MA-3 is heading for North Side Yard.

Train MA-3 rolls thru Bedford and arrives at Terminal Yard.

LIRR engineer Jimmy Alco has picked up the PCCM cars going to Fresh Pond Yard in Train MA-4 and checks in with the EBRR trainmen. Jimmy is one of the junior 1:87 engineers in PCCM service and we appreciate his ongoing PCCM service.

The caboose is coupled on and LIRR Train MA-4 is ready to depart.
