P.C.C.M. 38E Extra #6554 Coal Train From Weehawken To Rock Ridge Yard

Continuing our three layout virtual op, the KP&W and N.Y.C.T.L. have taken Unit coal Train URN-3 from Terminal Yard to West Mill, and several coal hoppers have been cut from the train have left Weehawken as Extra #6554 continuing on to Rock Ridge Yard. Final destination for these coal hoppers is R.M.O. Electric Power Plant. R.M.O. Electric serves a wide area with it's main customers Cargill and Tropicana.

Today's move is being overseen by 1:1 Scale Sir Larry of Flemington. When it comes to supervision, Sir Larry is a no-nonsense guy. At the helm is Senior Supreme & Exhaulted Engineer for Life
Double E.

Let's pick up where we left off. Extra #6554 has been given his train orders and is awaiting the go ahead from Rock Ridge Yard.


As Double E mans the throttle, Extra #6554 head out of Weehawken en route to Rock Ridge yard.


Double E is being held at West Harold, awaiting an approach signal. His next signal will be at Little Jamaica.


As you can see, Extra #6554 has the signal and heads into Rock Ridge Yard. Dispatch has him approaching the yard from the south end.


Rock Ridge Yardmaster has Extra #6554 heading to yard track 9, where this train will terminate. 


Extra #6554 has made his run. The crew will secure the engine and head out as their alloted road time has been maxed out.

Next up! Delivery of Coal Hoppers for R.M.O. Electric!
