NY-NJ Ops #2 / Part 6 / Conclusion of Virtual Operations

 Greetings All,

Welcome Back To NY-NJ Ops #2!!

Our second virtual op with my layout interchanging freight traffic with Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific Railroad concludes today with the final deliveries of NY-NJ traffic from the APRR Rock Ridge Yard to local consignees and interchanges.

We open up at Terminal Yard with Empire Belt RR Tarin EB-3 preparing to depart for their North Side Yard in Empire City.

Train EB-3 departs from Terminal Yard.

Now in North Side Yard Sir Neal and conductor John prepare to block the freight traffic in Train EB-3 with the NY-NJ freight cars held in the yard a the end of the inbound portion of this op.

NY-NJ freight cars are blocked into the EBRR Belt Job for  movement to their respective consignees. Getting their next NY-NJ loads will be the empty EBRR boxcars going to Quaker, the four APRR gondolas heading to Gervais Pipe & Fitting and the NYC covered hopper going to Red Wing Milling at the right.

The Belt Job is almost ready to go.

Conductor John stands ready at the switch.

The Belt Job shoves out of North Side Yard and onto the Belt Line.

Empty EBRR boxcars #416035 and #416079 are spotted at the Quaker Plant for their next NY-NJ loads.

Four empty APRR gondolas are placed at Gervais Pipe & Fitting for their next NY-NJ loads.

Empty NYC covered hopper #892010 is shoved to the Red Wing Milling siding for its next NY-NJ load.

The Belt Job heads to the Hohman Ave Industrial Park with non NY-NJ freight traffic and returns to North Side Yard.

The EBRR trainmen head to the office to get their paperwork in order and prepare for the pending arrival of LIRR Train MA-3 as Sir Neal eyes the lounge chairs.

And here it comes!! Train MA-3 from Fresh Pond Junction is just coming into Bedford as it makes it way to North Side Yard.

LIRR Train MA-3 arrives in North Side Yard.

The EBRR trainmen greet new LIRR engineer Michael who has successfully bid on the MA-3/MA-4 job. Welcome to the NY-NJ Ops engineer Michael!!!

LIRR Train MA-4 departs North Side Yard with NY-NJ and non NY-NJ freight traffic.

Next stop Fresh Pond Junction!!!

Put it in the books!!!
