Welcome to the final installment of P.C.C.M. #95 on the Atlantic Pacific Railroad. There are two trains that will head out on the road as well as a move within the Rock Ridge Yard Limits.
AP #200 with 1:87 Scale Engineer Steve will take the run over to Shapeless Steel...
Let's watch the locals head out of Rock Ridge Yard by CP South to the yard limits...
The locals are ready to depart the yard limits for the AP Main lines....
Here we see both trains departing the yard limits for their consignees...
AP Train RSS-1 spotting cars at Shapeless Steel....
AP Train RI-1 heads out to Ideal and to drop a car at Mike's Lumber...
The cars are spotted at Ideal. The car for Mike's will head over with another crew as this crew forgot to cut it before shoving the 2 86' Box cars. Sheesh! Someone is going to get docked some pay...!
Here's the spot at Ideal...
Now we see the build for Tropicana and Cargill...
Three Penn Central Box cars from International Paper on the K.P.D. to Tropicana with container boards and an empty Tropicana car that will be loaded up for Ralph's Grocery in Empire City. Got Juice? We got Juice!! 😁
And now at Tropicana....
JP is back on the siding, a tanker truck alongside ready to fill up the engine with some fuel...
And we're finished with P.C.C.M. #95 on the A.P.R.R.! It's a wrap!
The final inbound for both Sir John and PC Ralph are must reads. Check them both out!!
and
Thanks for reading!!

It's a wrap!!! Well done Sir Neal!!! I like how the trainmaster and dispatcher got the two locals thru CP South and on their merry way to deliver the freight. Nice move there! AP RI-1 conductor will need to be requalified after whatever else happens at his disciplinary hearing. I know the 1:1 and 1:87 guys that work the APRR were not pleased with his gaffe. Oh well nobody got hurt and even 1:87 trainmen can make mistakes.
This was a fine post to document and conclude the PCCM #95 virtual operations at Rock Ridge Yard. The NYCTL trainmen look forward to interchanging more PCCM freight traffic with the APRR in PCCM #96!!!
