Penn Central Car Movements #111 Part 8 / The Finale

 Greetings All,

Welcome Back to Penn Central Car Movements #111

Our three layout virtual op with my NYCTL interchanging freight traffic with PC Ralph's Kings Port Division and Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific Railroad concludes today with the final movements of more PCCM trains.

We open our final installment in the cozy confines of the Bedford Park Yard with engineer Robert R reporting to work the Bedford Park Yard Job.

RS11s 7600 and 7604 have been assigned to Bedford Park due to the heavy tonnage being moved in and out of the Ford Plant in this virtual op.

Empty 86' boxcars get pulled from the Ford Plant.

The big empties are slowly shoved into the small Bedford Park Yard.

Five empty 86' boxcars have filled up the yard. They will be moving towards their next PCCM loads in a future virtual op.

Back at the plant two APRR and two EBRR boxcars loaded with auto parts from IDEAL Auto Parts are shoved into the Ford Plant siding.

Engineer Robert R ties down the Alcos completing his PCCM 111 work.

A short time later in the Terminal Yard engine terminal we find a very happy Alco Joe called for Train MR-1 being greeted by engine hostler Wet Willie and a four engine set of Alco Centuries. 

The Centuries are coupled onto the MR-1 freight car consist which consists of empty hoppers from the APRR Rock Ridge Yard that arrived yesterday in Extra 2417 East.

 The MR-1 departs for Hudson Coal and T&R Gravel.

The Alcos have stopped on "the slide" to access T&R Gravel.

Being pulled from T&R Gravel are KPW and PC PS 2 covered hoppers loaded with lime to be sent to Port Owen Brick in Port Owen, NY in a future PCCM.

The KP&W and PC covered hoppers are placed temporarily at Hudson Coal.

Four empty APRR ballast hoppers are spotted at T&R Gravel for their next PCCM loads.

Four empty PC PS2 covered hoppers are also spotted at T&R for their next PCCM loads of locomotive sand.

The MR-1 power has coupled back up to the rest of its train as heads towards Bedford to clear the Hudson Coal switch.

The KP&W and PC covered hoppers get pulled from Hudson Coal along with the loaded coal hoppers.

The last of the loaded hoppers get pulled out.

The MR-1 makes the long pull out of Hudson Coal.

The last of the empties are shoved into Hudson Coal for their next PCCM loads.

The Centuries have coupled onto the loaded hoppers for movement back to Terminal Yard.

The MR-2 holds for LIRR Train MA-3 before heading back to Terminal Yard.

Alco Joe returns the Alco consist to the engine terminal.

Meanwhile over in Empire City LIRR Train MA-3 arrives in North Side Yard.

LIRR engineer checks in with the EBRR trainmen and explains about the off layout track issues that cancelled the MA-3 / MA-4 yesterday.

The caboose is reclaimed and LIRR Train MA-4 heads back to Fresh Pond Yard.

The MA-4 is cleared past Bedford Tower.

Train MA-4 rolls towards Fresh Pond Yard.

Next stop Fresh Pond Yard. Put it in the books!!! Finally!!!

This concludes PCCM 111 on the NYCTL. Be sure to catch all the action on PC Ralph's Kings Port Division and Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific RR.
