Penn Central Car Movements #110 Part 5

  Greetings All,

Welcome Back to Penn Central Car Movements #110

Our three layout virtual op with my layout interchanging freight traffic with Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific RR and PC Ralph's Kings Port Division continues today with the arrival of Train LI-2 at the Penn Central Terminal Yard.

We open today with the Yard Job building local train BT-27 that will be taking PCCM and non PCCM freight traffic to Bedford industries. Empty EL boxcar 73510 is heading to T&R Gravel for its next PCCM load.

The UPFE and two BNFE 57' reefers are heading to Ralph's Grocery Warehouse with frozen foods from the ShopRite Warehouse in Rock Ridge, NJ.

The old NYC Early Bird boxcar is also going to Ralph's Grocery Warehouse with a load of kitchen gadgets from REVCO in Bloomberg, NY. PC 50' boxcar 360158 is going to the Hostess Plant loaded with bagged flour from Blue Ribbon Flour in Kings Port, NY. 

Alco Joe has been called for the Bedford Turn Job and confers with Kar Knocker after coupling up a pair of RS32s onto the headend. 

Train BT-27, the Bedford Turn, departs Terminal Yard.

The first stop is T&R Gravel where empty EL boxcar 73510 will get its next PCCM load of bagged iron ore.

The Bedford Turn rolls into Bedford.

First stop is the Schaefer Brewery where an empty non PCCM PC 40' boxcar fulfills an empty car request and joins two APRR 40's boxcars being loaded with the one beer to have when having more than one.

Penn Central boxcar 360158 loaded with bagged flour from Blue Ribbon Flour is spotted at the Hostess / Wonder Bread Plant.

Alco Joe and the PC RS32s hold on the Bedford Secondary Track for clearance to enter the mainline and make their runaround move. Looks like a commuter with the sack on his back has face planted on the platform. Did he fall or was he pushed?

The BT-27 RS32s will definitely be held on the secondary as Train LI-2 from Selkirk with PCCM traffic for the Long Island RR is coming thru Empire City like a rocket.

Train LI-2 rolls thru Bedford on the mainline.

Train LI-2 arrives in Terminal Yard.

The LI-2 U-Boats get spotted at the fuel rack.

With the LI-2 now in the yard The Bedford Turn gets back to work.

The BNFE, UPFE 57' reefers are shoved under the overbuild to be spotted at the Ralph's Grocery Warehouse siding.

The NYC Early Bird boxcar and a non PCCM MILW boxcar are also spotted on the RGW siding.

Alco Joe has the Bedford Turn back together and prepares to head back to Terminal Yard as Train BT-28.

Train BT-28, heads back to Terminal Yard.

The BT-28 rolls into Terminal Yard.

The BT-28 Alco RS32s join the LI-2 U-Boats in the engine terminal.

Back in Terminal Yard Big Mike and Kar Knocker are ready to inspect the BT-28 and LI-2 freight consists.

The LI-2 consist has been rebuilt with four APRR gondolas added to the hind end that will be going to Gervais Pipe in Empire City for their next PCCM loads.

You again? Big Mike has finished the blocking of the LI-2 consist that will be Train EC-1 for its movement to the Empire Belt RRs North Side Yard. Check out that PTTX bulkhead flat making its PCCM debut loaded with steel slabs from Kings Port Steel.

Big Mike ties down on track #7 with a transfer caboose and six 50' RBLs needing movement to Ralph's Grocery Warehouse in the upcoming days.

We'll pick it up tomorrow in the B&O 16th Street Yard .
