Penn Central Car Movements #105 Part 3

 Greetings All,

Welcome Back to Penn Central Car Movements #105!!!
The PCCM #105 three layout one weekend virtual op with PC Ralph's Kings Port Division and Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific RR interchanging freight traffic with my NYCTL concludes today with the dispatch of our outbound trains.
 
The action starts in Empire City at North Side Yard with senior engineer Sir Neal getting ready to take Train EB-2 to the Penn Central's Terminal Yard in East Bedford.
Meanwhile over in East Bedford Train MR-1 is finishing up its work at Hudson Coal.
EBRR Train EB-2 meets PC Train MR-1 at Bedford.
Kar Knocker is out to inspect the EB-2 freight consist and Big Mike gets ready to pull off the EBRR caboose.
Empty covered hoppers brought in by the EB-2 are shoved into track#3 for movement to the Kings Port Division and Tri Mount Cement.
Empty coal hoppers are shoved into track #3 for movement to the Kings Port & Western and interchange with the Lehigh Valley.
Empty covered hoppers are coupled up to the freight consist in track #3 for movement to the Kings Port Division and Empire Grain.
Sir Neal collects the EBRR caboose and heads back to North Side Yard.
After the departure of the EBRR Big Mike gets to work on the loaded hoppers brought in by Train MR-2. Four loaded APRR ballast hoppers will be heading out tot the APRR's Rock Ridge Yard.
Six loaded coal hoppers heading to Rock Ridge Yard and RMO Electric are added to the ballast hoppers.
A short time later Train Extra 6533 West is ready to depart for the Kings Port Division via Selkirk.
Extra 6533 West departs Terminal Yard.
Next stop Selkirk!!
Meanwhile back at Pier 16 the B&O crew pulls a block of empty covered hoppers from the Grain Silos.
The B&O delivers the empty covered hoppers to Terminal Yard.
The B&O crew heads back to Pier 16 with high & wide loads for export in a gratuitous non PCCM move.
Kar Knocker has cleared the covered hoppers from Pier 16 for movement and Big Mike couples up.
The empty covered hoppers consigned to Cargill in Rock Ridge, NJ are shoved into track #2 and added to the freight consist going to the APRR's Rock Ridge.
Big Mike finishes building the train for the APRR.
A short time later Kar Knocker and West Willie have Extra 3175 West ready to depart for Selkirk and Rock Ridge. 
Extra 3175 West departs Terminal Yard.
Next stop Selkirk!!!
Put it in the books!!!
This concludes the NYCTL's portion of PCCM 105. Be sure to catch all of the action on Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific RR and PC Ralph's Kings Port Division!!

Thanks for reading and watching!!!

    Nicely coordination of trains to quickly forward the various types of hoppers in this op with two PC extras out of Terminal Yard for Selkirk and beyond ! Once again the new B&O interchange between Pier 16 and Terminal Yard provides a lot of interest. The high and wide loads were intriguing! I always enjoy the signature final meet with the local RDC! West Mill will be ready for Extra 6533!
