Welcome back to Part 2 of Penn Central Car Movement #97 - A special Coal Train Run...!

It's early morning and the the AP crew has been at it before daybreak. The Penn Central engines have arrived. They sent a trio of U25C engines to pick up this long coal drag...


The first set of coal hoppers are added to the engines...


The second set on the east ladder will be added to the rear of the train...



Norman adds the caboose to the end of the train...




Let's watch them depart Rock Ridge Yard...


Now passing Little Jamaica Interlocking...


West Harold Tower Operator Bob is watching for the PC train to roar thru...

                  They're coming around the bend...!!


That concludes P.C.C.M. #97 on the APRR. Make sure you check both John and Ralph's Penn Central #97 moves here...

    Acknowledge Extra 6510 departing Rock Ridge Yard for Selkirk.
    Acknowledge conclusion of Holiday Coal Operations of the APRR.

    Terminal Yard out...

    Extra 6510 powered by three good looking PC U25Cs needed all that muscle to move that long train out of the yard, thru Little Jamaica and past West Harold! That was an impressive unit coal train featuring custom painted and commercially available hoppers. Well done Sir Neal!!! Happy Holidays to you and the APRR crew!

    Big Penn Central power hauls a long coal train! Doesn't get much better than that! Nice detail including APRR #105 tacking on the caboose! Thanks to the APRR crew for the Holiday wishes. West Mill returns them as well!
