P.C.C.M. #95 Inbound Part 4 - Preparing The Outbound Freight For Delivery To Consignees

 

Welcome back to the continuation of P.C.C.M. #95 on the A.P.R.R. Freight needs to be delivered to the consignees in a timely manner, so let's begin....

AP MP15 #105 has 1:87 Scale Engineer Kai in the seat working part of the outbound build...

AP MP15 engines #106/107 with 1:87 Scale Engineer Mark working part of the outbound build. Mark is pulling some cars for thee newly opened PC Richard & Son Warehouse. The first delivery to this industry are appliances from Speed Queen..

Kai is building the cars that will be going to ShopRite Food Warehouse located on the southern end of Rock Ridge Yard. ShopRite is getting a pair of 40' Box Cars from Schaefer Brewery, a 50' reefer full of produce from Empire Produce, and another reefer with frozen foods from Birds Eye Food. This is another new customer located at Terminal Warehouse.

In order to get these freight cars delivered, ShopRite must be delivered first if they want to make the move in one shot. If not, they would need to move one freight car at a time. The reason for this is the amount of track lead they have to work with if there are cars spotted at PC Richard. To the north of PC Richard is the American Hardware Warehouse. All of these moves must be taken into consideration before any multi-car move can be made in or out of ShopRite...

Here's the first move on that track - ShopRite...

Then we have the move to PC Richard & Son...

Now that Kai delivered to both industries within the yard limit, he can turn his attention back to the yard. Next move will be building a 4 car train of gondolas; 2 from ACME on the K.P.D. and 2 from Gervais Pipe, all of which are heading over to Shapeless Steel.

The cars are spotted and will be ready to go out once the rest of the cars are added to the train...

A little moving of some freight cars..

Looks like the auto parts box cars for Ideal are getting spotted for their move...

AP #200 will head over to Shapeless Steel with the gondola cars when ready..

AP #307 will take the auto parts box cars to Ideal Auto Parts...

The moves for the outbound trains are completed. The crews have tied down for the night...

We'll stop here for today. Tomorrow the Rock Ridge Yard Team will send out both Rock Ridge trains as well as deliver box cars to Tropicana and covered hoppers to Cargill..

Check out the inbound on Sir John's N.YC.T.L. and PC Ralph's K.P.D. Railroads!!
