P.C.C.M. 62 Part 2 - Inbound Train To Rock Ridge

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

P.C.C.M. 62 is a three layout movement and it's inbound weekend on the N.Y.C.T.L. Hosted by John R. and on the Kings Port & Western Hosted by PC Ralph 

We continue with the arrival of Train WR-3 from Weehawken. This train originated in Selkirk, NY, then headed south down the River Line to Weehawken, NJ. A quick crew and engine change, and train WR-3 heads off to Rock Ridge. 

The inbound freight on train WR-3 has four freight cars from the Kings Port & Western. In addition, there are 9 freight cars from the N.Y.C.T.L. and a couple other cars added to the train in Selkirk from other parts of the Penn Central System. 

Train WR-3 is heading to the yard, via the main line of the A.P.R.R. He'll pass thru Baskerville Station, the local passenger stop on their way to the Rock Ridge. 




Train WR-3 is on Track 1 of the Mainline approaching the west end of West Harold Interlocking. Tower Operator 1/87th NJ John, a veteran of the A.P.R.R., is watching these train movements very carefully. In this hot and humid July, track conditions can be tested!



Train WR-3 heading to Rock Ridge and approaching the Little Jamaica Interlocking. 1/87th Norman, the official photographer of the A.P. R.R. captures the train heading thru the interlocking.



Once thru the interlocking, Train WR-3 will be routed thru the east ladder in Rock Ridge Yard by 1/87th Yardmaster Rich T. 



We'll stop here for today as the crew is done for the day. Check back tomorrow for the breakdown of the train and then we'll wrap it up with the delivery of the freight!
