New York-New Jersey Ops #1 / Part 2 / The Gathering Continues

 Greetings All

Welcome back to the NY-NJ Ops #1!!

This two layout virtual op with my layout interchanging freight traffic with Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific Railroad continues today with the PC Terminal Yard crew sorting out Terminal Yard and the B&O 16th Street Yard transfer delivering NY-NJ Ops traffic to the PC.

The action starts at Terminal Yard with Big Mike complaining about the PC SD9 that wasn't well cared for by the PC to Kar Knocker as they set up their plans to organize the yard. 

Empire Belt caboose 1606 that came in on EBRR Train EB-2 is one of the EBRR pool cabooses and gets shoved into the caboose track.

Big Mike departs the caboose and sand tracks with a PC caboose and four empty PC PS2 covered hoppers that will used in buffer service.

The PC caboose and two of the PC PS2s are set up to protect the crew from overhanging and potentially dangerous gondola looads.

APRR gondolas of scrap metal from Gershow Recycling in Medford, NY going to Bethlehem Steel in Bethlehem, PA via the APRR Rock Ridge Yard are coupled onto the PS2s.

EBRR gondolas of pipe from Gervais Pipe & Fitting in Empire City, NY heading to National Supply in Ambridge, PA via the APRR Rock Ridge Yard have been coupled to the APRR gondolas with two PS2s to protect the headend crew.

Big Mike continues working the EB-2 freight consist setting out three Hi-Cubes of appliances from Speed Queen in Long Island City for PC Richard in Rock Ridge, NJ along with two BAR reefers of produce going to C&P Restaurant Supply in Rock Ridge, NJ.

Big Mike calls it a day and suggests that he and engine hostler Wet Willie hit the local tavern for some much needed adult beverages.

The B&O 16th Street Yard crew with a C&O U Boat and B&O GP30 for power make their NY-NJ debut.

The B&O crew begin their work at the Pier 16 Grain Silos pulling a long cut of PC, EBRR and APRR covered hoppers loaded with grain for the large Cargill facility in Rock Ridge, NJ.

The B&O 16th Street crew work the Pier 16 Grain Silos.

After delivering their transfer train to Terminal Yard the B&O crew has picked up a cut of cars for the Terminal Warehouse & Cold Storage facility and the Pier 16 Grain Silos.

The APRR 58000 series 50' RBLs loaded with wholesale groceries for ShopRite in Rock Ridge, NJ get pulled from Consolidated Grocery Distributors at the TW&CS complex.

The APRR 58000 series RBLs are coupled onto the covered hoppers for their pending movements to Rock Ridge Yard.

We'll cut it here for today with the B&O placing non NY-NJ traffic at the TW&CS siding.

We'll pick it up and close it out tomorrow starting in Bedford Park Yard.

This concludes part two of the NY-NJ Ops on the NYCTL. Be sure to catch the rest of the NY-NJ action on Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific RR.
