P.C.C.M. #80 Part 5 - Conclusion Of Deliveries To Consignees

Welcome back to the conclusion of Penn Central Car Movement #80 on the Atlantic Pacific Railroad. We have freight that has arrived from Sir John's N.Y.C.T.L. and PC Ralph's Kings Port Division Railroads.

We start with AP 306 with 1:87 Engineer Norman working Rock Ridge Local RR-3. They'll drop a car over at Rock Ridge Yard East then proceed over to Three Amigos Warehouse, Shapeless Steel and wrap up with a drop off at Mike's Lumber..

They'll drop of LV 8247 from Delco with batteries and electronics which will be used in the final production of parts for Ford Motors....

PC 142770 from Superior Furniture will be spotted at Three Amigos Warehouse for eventual pickup by retailers in the area...

EB 358160 from Neal's Lumber with veneer paneling will be dropped at Mike's Lumber. Mike's Lumber not only supplies lumber materials in the area and does custom home renovations. Sir 1:1 Neal is one of Mike's best customers!!


The train is assembled and the train heads out...


AP 306 arrives over at Rock Ridge East Yard to drop off LV 8247. Once dropped they'll finish working the job. 



Here we see AP 306 heading over to Three Amigos Warehouse...


A stop at West Harold tower for some switch alignment by tower operator 1:87 Jim and the crew will spot the car on track 2 for Three Amigos...




Next, they head over to drop the box car at Mike's lumber and a pair of gondolas at Shapeless Steel loaded with pipes...


Now they drop off the gondolas at Shapeless Steel...



The cars are spotted on track 1. The job is completed and they'll head back to Rock Ridge Freight Yard...




Back over at Rock Ridge Yard, AP 105 with 1:87 Engineer Matt will drop 2 covered hopper cars from Pier 16 over at Cargill loaded with grain...




The cars a dropped on the Rock Ridge Industrial track and AP 900 with 1:87 Engineer JP who will spot the cars on Cargill track 1...





AP 105 is back home on west ladder track 1..


Now we head back over to Rock Ridge East Yard as there's a number of moves that need to happen today. The 4 auto parts cars dropped off yesterday at Ideal Auto Parts are empty. They need to come back to the East yard to make room for LV 8247, EB 503827 (empty) and a pair of KP&W (30112 & 30116) box cars from Quality Fabrications with auto parts needed for some final assemblies before they head over to Ford. AP 105 with NJ John will handle all of the moves today..









Let's watch the moves to get the box cars to Ideal Auto Parts..






Now the wrap up at Ideal Auto Parts...


Back at Rock Ridge East Yard, AP 105 ties down for the day...



This concludes my inbound portion of P.C.C.M. #80.
