Penn Central Car Movements #108 Part 4 / The Inbound Cycle Begins

 Greetings All,

Welcome Back to Penn Central Car Movements #108

The PCCM 108 Inbound Cycle starts today with freight traffic from Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific RR and PC Ralph's Kings Port Division arriving in Terminal Yard.

Train SP-10 gets the honors of being the first train of PCCM traffic from Selkirk powered by U23Cs 6710 and 6718. The SP-10 is coming thru Empire City and headed towards Bedford.

The SP-10 heads to Terminal Yard.

The U23Cs bring Train SP-10 into Terminal Yard under the watchful eyes of Big Mike. The 6710 and trailing 6718 were purchased by the Penn Central for yard power and have frequently held that job here.

Big Mike meets the SP-10 U23Cs at the engine terminal fuel pad and urges engine hostler to get them serviced ASAP!

Big Mike is reunited with the U23Cs as Terminal Yard yard power and quickly couples up to the S12-F7B-H24-66 consist before the yard master chimes in.

Big Mike couples the "Junk Power" onto a train of empties that will be heading out of the yard shortly. If you listen carefully you can hear him muttering good riddance!!

With the yard crew shenanigans now over Big Mike and Kar Knocker prepare to start working the SP-10 freight consist.

Four cars of TOFC traffic from the KP&W Williams Yard Ramp get shoved into the Terminal Yard Ramp.

The engine terminal shop switcher gets fired up to pick up a boxcar in Terminal Yard loaded with 55 gallon drums of lube oil.

The shop switcher couples onto GM&O boxcar #21129 that was loaded at the Gulf River Facility in West Mill, NY.

The boxcar of lube oil is shoved into the shop.

Next up we check the action at Bedford Park Yard with RS1 9921 shoving several flatcars of automobile frames into the Ford Plant.

With the work done at the Ford Plant we find engineer Robert R checking in at the yard office.

Robert R had brought the Bedford Park freight traffic out to Bedford Tower and awaits clearance to depart the yard limits for Terminal Yard as Train BP-12.

Train BP-12 heads to Terminal Yard.

The BP-12 arrives in Terminal Yard.

Robert R checks with the Terminal Yard yardmaster after coupling onto three boxcars of PCCM traffic going to Bedford Park industries. Even though this is not hot Ford auto parts traffic the quick turnaround timeslot is still adhered to.

Train BP-41 heads back to Bedford Park.

The BP-41 rolls back into Bedford Park.

APRR boxcars 4035 and 4182 loaded with bulk hardware from the American Hardware Supply East Coast Distribution Center in Rock Ridge, NJ are placed at the Bedford Park American Hardware Supply warehouse. 

Rock Island boxcar #35062 loaded with high value color televisions from Zenith in Bloomberg, NY gets shoved into the All City Storage Center siding for distribution to local dealers.

Robert R ties down the 9921 and caboose in Bedford Park. 

Next we head to the B&O 16th Street Yar to catch the nocturnal B&O Transfer getting ready to leave for Terminal Yard.

The B&O Transfer heads to Terminal Yard.

The B&O Crew shoves into the Terminal Warehouse & Cold Storage Complex siding to pull out a cut of cars.

Three empty APRR and three empty EBRR 57' reefers get shoved into the TW&CS siding for their next PCCM loads from Birdseye.

The B&O Transfer gets ready to shove back to their 16th Street Yard.

The B&O shoves back to 16th Street Yard.

We'll cut it today with the B&O Transfer back in 16th Street Yard.

We'll pick it back up tomorrow at Terminal Yard with local Train BT-27 getting ready to depart.

This wraps up part four of my PCCM 108 installments. Be sure to catch all the PCCM action on Sir Neal's APRR and PC Ralph's KPD layouts.

Thanks for reading and watching!!!

See you tomorrow!!!
