P.C.C.M. #76 Part 3 - Movin' Out!

Welcome back to part 3 of the outbound portion of P.C.C.M. #76 on the Atlantic Pacific Railroad! Sir John and his N.Y.C.T.L. and PC Ralph with his K.P. & W. have been working on their outbound freight moves since we all know, the best to ship is by rail!

AP SW1500 #100 with 1/87th Scale Engineer NJ John in the cab seat. He starts to build the train, which will head out with parts of the train heading to West Mill, Selkirk and Empire City.....

Here we see some of the moves happening in the yard this morning...

Now we have the next move in the yard....

The moves are just about complete and the last of the cars are added to the train...

NJ John makes the final move and get this train ready to head out...

He clears the ladder tracks and takes one of the arrival / departure tracks so the outbound engines can be hooked up to the train...

AP GP38-2 #304 and AP GP40 #400 are backing up to pick up this train. The crew of 1/87th scale Norman and his brakeman Jim will take this train to Weehawken where it will be picked up by the Penn Central.

AP Train #RW-2 heading out!!

So what happened to the rest of the train video? It seems that while 1/87th Scale Norman who is also the official railroad photographer, was busy with the train, 1/87th scale Stuart decided he would try his hand at the video camera. Word has gotten back to both 1/87th Scale Sir John and 1/87th Scale Sir Neal about this debacle. The result - Stuart is on suspension for 60 days, not allowed to take ANY video or photographs for the railroad and will be assigned to Richmond Hill Engine Terminal for maintenance duties with special attention to one particular room in the building (you can figure that one out).

That concludes the outbound portion on the APRR. Make sure you check out Sir John and his N.Y.C.T.L. and PC Ralph with his K.P. & W. Both are great looking railroads, so make sure you pay attention to the details!!

Thanks for reading!
