Welcome back to the conclusion of the outbound portion of P.C.C.M. #91 on the A.P.R.R. The freight cars are ready to depart Rock Ridge Yard. All they need are engines and a crew...!

AP #106 with 1:87 Scale Engineer Dan working one end of this move...
Cars are added to the outbound...
We see a set of PC U23C engines are just at the end of the Rock Ridge Yard limits.
The crew is getting some direction from an APRR yard guy on the train. He'll depart the train once it has all of its freight...
The KP&W cut is added to the end of the train. So what's missing? A caboose!
Not to worry! PC SW1200 #9021 has brought over a caboose that was sitting in Weehawken. Since this train is a Penn Central Train not making a stop in Weehawken, they brought over the caboose...
They add the caboose to the end of the train...
And the engine parks itself on track 4 in the APRR yard. Why? To get some food at Eat At Ralph's Diner! Where else would you go!!

Acknowledge dispatch of PC Train Extra 6510 from Rock Ridge Yard to West Mill Yard.
Terminal Yard out...
Extra 6510 was an awesome train! The U25Cs looked and sounded great as they hauled a large amount of PCCM tonnage out of Rock Ridge. I liked the camera angle for the train as well. A very nice conclusion to the outbound portion! Terminal Yard will be ready to receive it's freight cars! Nice work Sir Neal!!!

Acknowledge the dispatch of PC train Extra 6510 running through Weehawken and scheduled to stop at West Mill.
West Mill out.
A very nice coordinated effort between APR and Penn Central crews and locomotives and a great job concluding the outbound segments with a train hauling cars for both my Kings Port Division and John's N.Y.C.T.L.! The cut for West Mill will be seen arriving in my first inbound installment next weekend!
