 Greetings All,

Welcome Back to PCCM #112

Our three layout virtual op with my layout interchanging freight traffic with Ralph's Kings Port Division and Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific Railroad continues today with local trains and the arrival of more inbound trains!!

The Bedford Turn, Train BT-27, leads off today as it is getting ready to depart Terminal Yard.

Train BT-27 heads to Bedford.

Due to train length the BT-27 is working from the Bedford mainline to switch out the local industries. The first move is to pull a pair of non PCCM freight cars from the Schaefer Brewery.

Empty HR 40' boxcar is placed at the Schaefer Brewery for its next PCCM load. Empty BAR boxcar 5226 is placed at Neubaum's Coffee & Tea Importers for its next PCCM load. 

The BT-27 starts working the long industrial siding and couples up to some non PCCM freight cars at the Hostess Plant.

A Terminal Yard to Selkirk Hotshot rumbles down the mainline.

The GP7s have coupled onto the headend of their train and prepare to head back to Terminal Yard as Train BT-28.

Unfortunately for the BT-28 the dispatcher has other ideas.

Train BT-28 is finally cleared to return to Terminal Yard.

The GP7s join the F7As in the engine terminal.

Big Mike and Kar Knocker are ready to start working the TE-16 and BT-28 freight consists.

Train EC-1 departs Terminal Yard and meets Train LI-2.

Train EC-1 arrives in North Side Yard.

Alco Joe checks in with the EBRR Trainmen before departing with Train EC-2 that will take non PCCM traffic from North Side Yard to Terminal Yard.
