The new PCRRHS NW-2 made a fine debut smoothly running the prime mover over to Terminal Yard and returning to the engine shop with the gondolas. Nice new acquisition! Another cool B& 16th St. transfer run with the string of covered hoppers! While the Penn Central's locomotive roster was "dipped black", colorful freight cars from various companies made up for it in today's manifests, creating interesting and eye pleasing trains! Its going to be busy at Selkirk soon! Looking forward to the inbound portions of the series next week!

The outbound trains are on the move! Welcome to PC NW2 #8807, a fine addition to the fleet! There’s a lot of freight coming to the APRR and the crews are ready at Rock Ridge Yard & Rock Ridge East Yard for the inbound freight. Nice to see the APRR engine hard at work earning its keep on the NYCTL.
Excellent work Sir John!!
