P.C.C.M. 46J: Trains WR-1 & WR-3 Arriving at Rock Ridge Yard

Greetings followers of the Penn Central Car Movements. We continue with P.C.C.M. 46 as 2 trains have left Weehawken heading to Rock Ridge Yard. 

 The first train to arrive, WR-1 has cleared West Harold, and is approaching Little Jamaica. Tower operators at both interlocking have to coordinate with the yardmaster. 

Train WR-1 with PC3141 on the lead is seen approaching the Little Jamaica Interlocking.

Train WR-1, seen here passing CP South and newly opened South Tower, heading into Rock Ridge Yard. South tower now controls the entire Rock Ridge Yard. CP Rock is under the control of South Tower.
WR-1 heading down the East ladder in the yard. The engines will be cut, moved over to another track, where one of the switchers will handle the duties of breaking down the train in the yard. 


While the moves are happening, Train WR-3 with APRR 306 & 305 are being held outside Little Jamaica.

 A few moments later, WR-3 is given the approach and sent over to Rock Ridge Yard.

Here we go!

WR-3 is seen crossing over to the arrival tracks in Rock Ridge Yard. With so much freight coming in and out, this train will be worked on once they break down WR-1. 




 With WR-3 in the yard, the A.P.R.R. can work on getting freight sent out to its great customers, who never complain about most anything, other than when the bill is received for services rendered! 

 Next up, A.P.R.R.  locals are set out to deliver the goods!

    Acknowledge arrival of Trains WR-1 and Wr-3 at Rock Ridge.

    I'm always impressed by the working PRR signals at Little Jamaica! The new South Tower is a nice looking building. The A.P.P.R.'s Rock Ridge Yard is receiving a lot of freight today, including those good looking PC PS-2 covered hoppers and the green cylindrical Penn Central covered hoppers!
    Plenty of work to do switching local industries! Nicely done continuation of this current P.C.C.M. series!

    Thank you Sir! It's always nice when I can get more structures on the railroad. The new South Tower is ready to handle the entire yard area and all industries under its territory.

    I agree with Ralph, the signals at Little Jamaica are very impressive! The newly installed South Tower looks good and the operator's getting a baptism by fire today! Nicely done! Looking forward to the next installment!!

    Agree on the signals! All the GP38-2s look very good as well.
