P.C.C.M. #61 Part 2 On The APRR

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

The action continues as AP train RW-1 heads out from Rock Ridge to Weehawken. As he approaches the West Harold interlocking, he's held at a stop signal.


Another PC train is spotted at the opposite end of the interlocking and RW-1 knows this route is usually clear!


A radio call is made to the West Harold Tower Operator:

Train RW-1: RW-1 to West Harold. What's the hold up. Over
West Harold: RW-1 we have congestion in Weehawken. Train NE-2 from Potomac with AP motive power is heading to Newark via Weehawken and has priority clearance. Over
Train RW-1: Can you route me over Weehawken North? Over
West Harold: Negative RW-1. We have late running Train WV-2 that was due hours ago coming into the yard. Over
Train RW-1: 10-4 West Harold. RW-1 waiting permission to proceed. Over.





Once the traffic runs thru the interlocking, Train RW-1 finally makes his way to Weehawken!


That's all for the outbound part of the APRR. We'll resume next week with the inbound train from the NY.C.T.L. via Selkirk.

There's more P.C.C.M. 61 action on

    That RW-1 is an impressive train!! Nice to see West Harold juggling the mix of inbound and outbound trains. Now I can't wait to get started on my inbound PCCM portions. Nice work Sir Neal!
