P.C.C.M 42C: RR-2 Coal Hopper Yard Move

Greetings followers of the P.C.C.M. Penn Central Car Movements. We start 2018 with a 5 layout train move. P.C.C.M. 42 originated on Ed's tremendous  Hoschton Railway Company with a string of empty coal hoppers destined to Hudson Coal on the N.Y.C.T.L. operated by John R. 

Meanwhile, P.C.C.M. 42B is a move from  John B's Railroad to the N.Y.C.T.L. with a special freight delivery.

Back down south, Train NE-2 left the HRC heading north to the PC Potomac Yard via the Southern Railroad. 


Once a change in motive power is made at Potomac, it will proceed to Weehawken and then on to West Mill. See you in Weehawken!

Meanwhile, back on the A.P.R.R., The R.M.O. Electric Co. has been using up coal at an incredible rate, thanks in part to the demands of Cargill, Tropicana and the surrounding area. Train RR-2 Rock Ridge / R.MO. Electric. GE 44 Tonner AP #900 will pull the empties for the yard switcher from Rock Ridge to pick them up. 


 There were a couple carloads of coal left, which should hold them until a new delivery of coal arrives from Hudson Coal.


AP. #100 heads out with caboose #50 to pick up the empties and bring them to Rock Ridge.

 With cars at the ready, they head back to Rock Ridge where train RW-1 will be assembled and head out to Weehawken.


Train RR-2 is back at Rock Ridge. Next up, train to Weehawken on the move! Stay tuned!

    Beautiful! Couldn't ask for a better intro. A.P.R.R. doing it's job to interchange with NE-2 at Weehawken upon it's arrival there is a perfectly timed set of moves. Well done!!!
