Welcome back to the inbound portion of Penn Central Car Movement #93! This is a virtual freight car move between Sir John's N.Y.C.T.L.Railroad and PC Ralph's K.P.D. Railroad
The day crew has arrived and sees that all of the freight between some industries in and around Rock Ridge has been delivered. The box cars from Three Amigos Warehouse are now over at American Hardware.
Cargill has the empty covered hopper from Freihofers Bakeries....
Now we turn our attention to the inbound train coming from Weehawken. AP Train WR-5 has arrived at West Harold Interlocking waiting for a signal to proceed to Rock Ridge Yard...
They get the signal and head over to Rock Ridge Yard...
The crew checks in with Yardmaster 1:87 Scale NJ John and lets him know the yard crew will start to pull the freight cars off the train using the caboose as a shoving platform for safety since there are multiple blocks on the train....
Here's the string of TP&W cars being blocked...
The yard crew gives the engines the caboose and the engines will head to the AP Richmond Hill Engine Terminal.
Next stop, Richmond Hill Engine Terminal...!
AP engines 2370/2360 head thru Little Jamaica....
Back over in the yard, a few more cars need to be classified. The gondolas with steel pipe from Gervais Pipe on the N.Y.C.T.L. are for Tropicana to expand their operations. The BAR yellow reefer will head over to C&P Restaurant Supply with a cold load of Louis Sherry Ice Cream from Empire City. I wonder if they have 1:87 Sir Neal's favorite flavor...VANILLA BEAN!
The work is finished for today. Tomorrow the yard crews will get busy to get the freight delivered to all of the consignees...
Don't forget to follow the freight that left the APRR over on Sir John's N.Y.C.T.L.Railroad and PC Ralph's K.P.D. Railroad
Thanks for reading!

Great work with all of the intra-layout moves at the beginning of the post! Its always nice to follow these as they set up the action for our next PCCM and add to the realism of car forwarding. Your 4th photo that shows a different video of Harold Interlocking than I usually see really show how important this junction is and how complex the trackwork! Switcher #105 completed a lot of work and sure looked good moving the new set of TP&W cars!
That should read "a different view of Harold Interlocking"..darned auto correct!

Excellent opening to the inbound series!! I like the U-Boats on WR-5! They have a lot of detail and look good hauling WR-5 into Rock Ridge Yard. Thanks for the shout out on the TP&W cars! They look good on both of our layouts! The Terminal Yard crew has their fingers crossed that the Hi Cubes will be full of Twinkies and the BAR reefer full of vanilla bean ice cream! A fine post 1:1 Sir Neal!!!
