Welcome back to the continuation of Penn Central Car Movement #81 on the Atlantic Pacific Railroad, Sir John's N.Y.C.T.L. and PC Ralph's Kings Port Division railroads.
AP #300 with 1:87 Engineer Norman at the throttle will be running train RW-3 to Weehawken today with freight cars bound to West Mill on the KP&W. At Weehawken, an engine and crew change will take place as the Penn Central Railroad will take this train to its final destination.

AP train RW-3 has arrived at Weehawken.

The next train that will be readied for outbound departure will be an 'Extra' destined for Pier 16 on the N.Y.C.T.L.
AP 200 'Spirit OF Jay' with 1:87 Engineer Steve heads over to Shapeless Steel to pick up 7 gondolas loaded with pipes of various lengths and sizes. These will be delivered to the 'export' part of Pier 16.
Here's AP 200 working Shapeless Steel..

Wow!!! Talk about moving trains smoothly and fluidly!! The APRR does it again with another fine sequence of train movements!! I really like the new Shapeless Steel backdrop and the camera angles for that group and the track C group of photos. The AP Trains to Weehawken with the power swap is an excellent move to show the interchange between the two RRs. Very well done Sir Neal!!!!

West Mill out.
West Mill is ready to receive cars originally sent on RW-3 and interchanged at Weehawken to become Extra 7675. Nicely blocked for West Mill's yard crew! I too especially enjoyed the video of the cuts of long black gons at the great looking Shapeless Steel scene! As always you working signals add so much realism to the op! Bullet proof track work on the A.P.R.r. shows it can handle REW-1 high balling it without any concerns!
