Penn Central Car Movements #108 Part 3 / Dispatch of Outbound Trains

 Greetings All,

Welcome to Penn Central Car Movements #108
Our PCCM 108  concludes today with the dispatch of the outbound freight traffic to Selkirk for interchange with Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific RR and PC Ralph's Kings Port Division.

The action starts today in Terminal Yard with Big Mike and Kar Knocker preparing to get the yard in order and build our outbound trains.
First move is to pull three empty Gulf tank cars from the tank car track for movement back to the Gulf River facility in West Mill, NY.
Penn Central PS2 covered hoppers loaded with locomotive sand get shoved into track #3 for movement to the Atlantic Pacific RR's Richmond Hill Engine Terminal.
Loaded coal hoppers are shoved into track #5 for movement to Kings Port Steel.
Empty MEC bulkhead flatcars going back to the MEC via the B&M are shoved onto the head end of PCCM traffic for the Kings Port Division.
Big Mike and Kar Knocker prepare to head home with the yard in good shape and the outbound trains just about ready for dispatch.
Over at the B&O 16th Street Yard two F7As get ready to depart with a transfer run of non PCCM traffic for Terminal Yard and the Terminal Warehouse and Cold Storage Complex.
The B&O 16th Street Yard Transfer heads to Terminal Yard.
The 16th Street crew make a shove towards the Terminal Warehouse & Cold Storage Complex.
PC boxcar #360508 and NPM reefer #473 loaded with frozen food and grocery products for ShopRite in Rock Ridge NJ get pulled from Consolidated Grocery Distributors and Birdseye.
Non PCCM Libby's Reefer, Frisco 50' boxcar and EBRR reefer 5127 make their PCCM debut as they get spotted at the TW&CS Complex.
The B&O crew prepares to shove back to 16th Street Yard with six empty PCCM reefers and one empty non PCCM SCL boxcar.
The B&O 16th Street Yard Transfer shoves back to 16th Street Yard.
Empty EBRR and APRR reefers will get cleaned and refueled prior to movement to Birdseye in the TW&CS Complex for their next PCCM loads.
The first trick Yard Job shoves PC boxcar #360508 and NPM Reefer #473 onto the head end of the PCCM traffic going to the APRR.
The power couples up to Train SK-5 that will take PCCM traffic for the APRR to Selkirk.
Train SK-5 departs Terminal Yard.
Next stop Selkirk!!
Back in Terminal Yard the SK-7 power couples on to take the PCCM freight traffic for the  Kings Port Division to Selkirk.

The SK-7 rumbles thru Bedford towards Selkirk.
Next stop Selkirk!!!! 
This wraps up the outbound portion of my PCCM 108 installments. Be sure to catch all the PCCM action on Sir Neal's APRR and PC Ralph's KPD layouts.

Don't forget to comeback for the Inbound Action on Friday!!!

    Rock Ridge Yard out!

    It’s a wrap for your outbound. I really like your moves in preparation for the net PCCM, seeing all of those EB and AP reefers getting into position. Highlighting the trains with Geeps is a favorite of mine as well.

    The Rock Ridge Yard crew is ready for the inbound freight!

    Lots of yard work was needed to assemble two good sized outbound trains to the APRR and KPD respectively! I continue to appreciate the inclusion of a B&O interchange op at Terminal Yard that adds another connection outside of your layout and treats us to those B&O consists! I noted the good looking string of EBRR reefers. I know I've said "nice job on those" but it bears repeating. West Mill anticipates a lot of traffic coming its way! Nice wrap up to the outbound segment of this series!
