P.C.C.M. 42E: Rock Ridge to Weehawken Part 2

Greetings followers of the A.P.R.R and the Penn Central Car Movements! 

We left off with Train RW-1 heading out of Rock Ridge Yard under the skillful control of 1/87th Senior Engineer Ed at the throttle

Riding in the caboose is 1/87th Sir Larry as this fantastic duo know this route better than anyone in the metro area. The years of experience from them are a credit to their work!

The approach to Weehawken from the south will make the trip up to West Mill a little easier to handle for the crew....

Approaching the classification tracks at Weehawken we see another PC train on the adjacent track.

As RW-1 slows down, 1/87th Senior Engineer Ed notices that train NE-2 has arrived from Potomac Yard. A call comes over the radio advising the crew to cut off and take track 3 so Train NE-2 can pick up their cars, add them to their train, and hightail it up to West Mill. Reports are that the weather up north may be changing for the worse. Needless to say, I'm sure they don't want to get stuck somewhere in the Adirondack Region of NY State!

A string of PC covered hoppers from Cargill were delivered a couple days ago to Weehawken as Rock Ridge yard was at capacity. We can hear Sir 1:87th Neal counting the profits already!!

Train NE-2, with a pair of PC SD45 units with #6197 in the lead, prepare to head out. 

 Brake test all completed, they get the call to head out up to West Mill.

That's quite a train and climb as they up north to West Mill and the KP&W Railroad

They gave the train AP50 caboose to pick up the rear. We hope 1/87th Sir Larry got off at Weehawken to head back with 1/87th Senior Engineer Ed! While those cabooses are comfortable, I'm sure 1/87th Sir Larry would rather be sleeping at home in his own bed!!

Well, that's all from the A.P.R.R. and my part of the Penn Central Car Movement. The continuation of P.C.C.M. 42 will continue on Ralph's Kings Port Division and the KP&W.

Thanks for following! Over to you Ralph! A.P.R.R.....Out!!
