Penn Central Car Movement #67 continues with the arrival of coal for R.M.O. Electric from Hudson Coal.
R.M.O. Electric has depleted its supply of on hand coal and a call was put out to various suppliers who ship to the power plant. The crew from the A.P.R.R. left with a string of empty hopper cars and was returning with loaded coal hopper cars.
The crew of Extra 302 turned around after a days rest and headed back with designation AP Extra 303. 1/87th Steve and 1/87th Bob are on the job!
Here's Extra 303 high balling it to Rock Ridge Yard and R.M.O. Electric!
AP Extra 303 has cleared CP South and is approaching R.M.O. Electric with a load of coal, desperately needed as they have less than a weeks supply!
Here's AP Extra 303 thru the northern end of Rock Ridge passing CP Rock heading over to the power plant.
A quick view of the last set of coal cars being delivered to the power plant..
With all 8 cars spotted on the power plant tracks, the crew picks up the caboose and heads back over to Rock Ridge freight yard. The day is done, albeit a long one!
The engines tie down on east ladder track #2 and this run is done!
Thanks for reading my blog and of course these moves couldn't have been made without Sir John's N.Y.C.T.L. and PC Ralph's K.P. & W.. Both railroads have some great details and interesting industries, motive power, rolling stock and more! Check them out!

Nice job Sir Neal!!! Cool videos and the AP engines and caboose look sharp. A great ending to the PCCM 67 series and the Rock Ridge residents will have lights and heat for the Holiday Season!!!
Nice story. Now that the coal supplies are up, I hope everyone's Hanukkah Menorahs and Christmas Trees shine bright through the entire season!
