P.C.C.M. #99 Part 7 On The A.P.R.R. - The Last Of The Freight Leaves The Yard

Welcome to the last part of Penn Central Car Movement #99 on my railroad...

Today are some moves within Rock Ridge Yard and the Rock Ridge Industrial area. The pair of MP15 engines with Matt running them along with Dan in the solo MP15 will move cars to ShopRite and Cargill...



This job has all three engines making the moves. In order to serve ShopRite, they need to back on to A/D track "D" and shove the cars to ShopRite...




Here's the move at ShopRite...


There will be a couple more moves here, as they received 8 cars. Since some of these cars have perishables, they'll get switched quickly...


The Hostess Covered hopper will get dropped at Cargill...


Meanwhile AP 307 is put back into action. They need to drop off a box car from IBM over at Three Amigos Warehouse for storage...




They head out on departure track #1 so they can reach Three Amigos from the south...


Meanwhile, the 6 covered hoppers for County Concrete were brought over to Rock Ridge East Yard by the Rock Ridge yard crew. They came down from Ti-Mount Cement, seved by the KPD...



SP 307 arrives by West Harold Interlocking and needs to do a quick run around to shove the box car on to the siding at Three Amigos..





They make the move...


And now head out.....


Back over at Rock Ridge Yard, AP 300 finally gets the word they can depart...


Last minute check in at the tower...


And they depart the yard...


AP Train RM-300 departs the yard...


We have one more car to spot, and the Hostess covered hopper is getting moved over to Cargill..





The work is done and all of the inbound freight is delivered! And now it's time for everyone to head over to 'Meet At Ralph's Diner!


And that concludes my inbound portion of Penn Central Car Movement #99 on my railroad!

Make sure you check out the inbound moves on both 

Thanks for reading!!

    Put it in the books!!!! Nice work wrapping up the PCCM 99 ops!! It was good to see AP caboose #79!! I was starting to worry that the crew in RM300 was going to outlaw before being cleared to depart Rock Ridge Yard. Hopefully they'll get to Morrisville before timing out.

    Lots of PCCM traffic in and out of Rock Ridge Yard this round and the APRR Crews did a very efficient job keeping the traffic moving. Well done Sir Neal!!! See you for PCCM 100!!!

    I admire the coordinated efforts between Rock Ridge switcher crews moving cars and making deliveries! What I like to refer to as "the caprice of the Rail Traffic Management Form" has sent a lot of cars to ShopRite this time! Nice work keeping an eye on the perishable loads. The relatively new op between Tri Mount Cement and County Concrete is a winner. I like seeing that string of cars leave my layout and arrive at yours. After all of the work involved in this series the crews deserve that party at the diner! Nice work all around!
