Nice way to start the inbounds!!! I liked the consist on both PCCM trains and the AP 200 propane train was a nice treat. Rock Ridge Yard crews made fast work of the heavy inbound PCCM traffic setting up tomorrows moves. Well done Sir Neal!!!

West Mill sent an unusally large number of cars to Rock Ridge and it was a pleasure to watch them all roll by!
The meet with Extra #200 was a nice touch and I like your collection of propane cars. The History of Suburban Propane was interesting and the photos of the early vintage Suburban Gas trucks are pretty cool! I was impressed by the efficiency in which the Rock Ridge crew broke up the two incoming trains and sorted them in the yard! Great stuff onthe APRR to railfan today!
