P.C.C.M. 58 On The A.P.R.R. - Freight Deliveries around Rock Ridge

Greetings followers of the Atlantic Pacific Railroad and the Penn Central Car Movements.

We resume the action in Rock Ridge Yard as local freight action is about to begin.

First out is RC-1, the C&P Restaurant Turn. AP #105 heads out with the 8 freight cars from Terminal Yard.

The engine cuts off from the loads on the West Harold secondary, does a run around and proceeds to pull out the empties and replace them with the loads from 

Empties are pulled from C&P Tracks 1&2

Once pulled, the loads can be delivered into the building..

Freight delivered, the train, now RC-2 heads back to the yard. Empties will be sent out to other industries as needed. 

Next up is the delivery of coal from Hudson Coal to R.M.O. Electric and its power plant. However, we see 1/87th Ralph and 1/87th ATJOE standing around the switcher. Problem? Looks like AP #900 is dead in the water. A call is made to Rock Ridge Yardmaster telling them the coal load will need to be brought over with their motive power. 

AP SW1500 #100 is called into action. They need to deliver 6 cars, and while they're at it, drop off the Hostess car to neighboring Cargill. 

AP train RR-1 heads out on this last minute call. Good thing a crew was available. 

What's left to do? Pull the dead engine out and bring it over to the yard. When the move is made to take the PS-2 hoppers loaded with sand for the engine terminal, that switcher will be part of the run. 

Last run for the day is the delivery of the 2 86' box cars from the Ford plant over to Ideal Auto Parts. They'll fill those two box cars with auto parts such as radios, antennas, alternators and more small parts to make to Ford vehicles hum like no other vehicle out there, and be proud of it!!

It's a wrap at Rock Ridge Yard and the A.P.R.R.!
