Welcome back to the conclusion of the outbound portion of Penn Central Car Movement #96 on the Atlantic Pacific Railroad...
The Penn Central crew has finally arrived at Rock Ridge. A pair of SD45 engines will bring this train to Selkirk. NJ John is back in the cab of his MP15 engines and will pull the caboose off the engine and add it to the rear of the train...
Before they add the caboose, there's one more move that has to be made. The BAR reefer needs to be added to the end of the train. Why the guys missed it may be due to the length of the train on the ladders or just human error. In any event, they will add it to the train...
Norman will pull the reefer off ladder track 4 and then NJ John will pick it up, add it to the caboose and then to the rest of the train...
The moves are completed, and Norman and NJ John are back on east ladder track 2. Both of them will head over to 'Meet At Ralph's' diner for their favorite dish - 'Food'!
It's departure time for the crew of Penn Central Train WV-2. As soon as Little Jamaica tower operator Bob gives them the signal, they'll head out of Rock Ridge, thru Weehawken, Kingston, CP 132 and on to Selkirk...
The approach signal is up, and the train departs...

Acknowledge dispatch of WV-2 to Selkirk

The long train is running! Plenty of cars heading to Selkirk for forwarding to Terminal Yard but none for the Kings Port Division this time! The Rail Traffic Management Form's car forwarding schedules provide varied amounts of traffic from virtual series to series. It's just as well as WV-2 is lengthy enough as it is! Nice job assembling and dispatching your outbound train for PCCM 96!

Nice to see the Penn Central finally sent a fresh crew with some big power to take the WV-2 to Weehawken and Selkirk. Terminal Yard will be ready to receive the inbound PCCM freight cars from the APRR!!! Nice work Sir Neal!! I like those SD45s!!!
