Penn Central Car Movements #115 Part 4

  Greetings All,

Welcome Back To Penn Central Car Movements #115

We continue today with our 2026 PCCM two layout virtual op focused on Maintenance of Way train movements between Ralph's Kings Port Division and my NYCTL. Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific Railroad, currently on winter hiatus, will be returning soon.

We're imagining that at least several days have passed and the Long Island RR is returning the MOW equipment back to its shippers.

The action starts at Bedford Tower with Robert R., in his first 2026 PCCM assignment, receiving train orders from the towerman to proceed to Terminal Yard with Train BP-12.

On the other side of town just past EB Tower Long Island RR Train MA-3 is heading to North Side Yard in Empire City via the Bedford Main.

Train MA-3 rolls thru Bedford towards North Side Yard.

LIRR engineer Jimmy Alco is back on duty running LIRR Trains MA-3 / MA-4. On this day a pair of C420s provide the power.

The EBRR gang shoots the breeze as they wait for Jimmy Alco to get train MA-4 moving and to reclaim the caboose.

Train MA-4 departs North Side Yard.

With the MA-4 now clear the EBRR guys get right to work. PC Ralph will be at the throttle of GP18 7278 that will power Train EB-2 to Terminal Yard. Conductor Rocky will ride the 1605 caboose bringing up the markers.

The guys couple the caboose up to KP&W covered hopper 445052 and uncouple the caboose from the engine.

The engines are back on the head end and the air pressure test has been completed. The Hohman Ave. towerman gives PC Ralph a highball.

Train EB-2 departs North Side Yard for Terminal Yard.

After uncoupling from the EB-2 and grabbing the 1605 caboose PC Ralph and Conductor Rocky talk things over with Kar Knocker and Big Mike and are bid a fond adieu.

Over at the new Caterpillar equipment storage yard the Kings Port Railway Society guys hustle to see the CAT equipment get loaded onto their flatcars.

The overhead crane moves into position to load the three flatcars of CAT equipment heading to Milton CAT in Binghamton, NY.

The CAT equipment is tied down, blocked and ready for departure.

The LI-1 power is coupled on and building up the air pressure.

Big Mike tacks on the caboose.

PC Train LI-1 departs Terminal Yard.

Next Stop Oak Point Yard and then Selkirk!!!

This wraps up my portion of PCCM #115. Be sure to catch all the action and conclusion of this virtual op on PC Ralph's Kings Port Division.

Thanks for reading and watching!!!

See you soon!!!
