P.C.C.M. 40D - Train RO-2 Departs Rock Ridge

The action continues on the A.P.R.R. as the crew of train RO-2 (Rock Ridge to Weehawken), is getting ready to depart the yard.

 Penn Central GP38 is going to lead the train south out of Rock Ridge on to Weehawken.
 Coupling up to the freight...


 PC #7675 is now deaparting Rock Ridge Yard, crossing over at CP South.
 Taking the crossover with caution, as this train has many cars behind him still coming out of the yard...
Tower Operator 1/87th John B., now at Little Jamaica, holds train RO-2 out of Rock Ridge until the route is set...
 The 'Clear' signal is given, and RO-2 is on the way...

 Approaching West Harold, with a clear signal in front, RO-2 highballs it thru the interlocking!


 A little while later, RO-2 is on the final approach to Weehawken....

 Passing thru some arrival tracks, AP#600 is idling, awaiting his next assignment....
 Approaching the the Weehawken lead at CP BE, RO-2 slows down thru the maze of trackwork ahead of him...


 And slowly pulls into the last few lengths of track he needs in Weehawken. 
The crew powers down, and notices a pair of SD units idling along side. These will be used to take the train out of Weehawken to Selkirk. To be continued....
