Welcome back to the continuation of inbound portion of P.C.C.M. #101 on the A.P.R.R. Today we'll see the freight heading out to the industries on the north side of Rock Ridge...
Once again, Kai will work the pair of MP15 engines...
AP GP38-2 #307 with 1:87 engineer Matt will make this run...
AP #307 working the outbound freight with the yard crew...
JP will pull AP caboose #79 for the outbound local. This is the ONLY bay window caboose in the APRR fleet. It was painted by the crew at the Patti-O Paint Shop in Empire City under the direction of 1:1 Sir John....
And adds it to the end of the train...
AP #307 will head out at AP Train #RN-4...
A signal holds the train...
Matt has arrived at Shapeless Steel. There are a number of non-PCCM gondolas that will head out to other industries in the Philadelphia and Western New Jersey...
The caboose is cut...
And Matt pulls the outbound cars...
Then spots the inbound from Gervais Pipe...
Now on to C&P Restaurant Supply...
They'll cut away from the gondolas and then pull the outbound reefers from C&P...
The outbound reefers are added to the gondolas...
...And Matt drops the reefers...
Now that the inbound freight has been delivered, Matt can head back to the yard...
A quick stop at CP Little Jamaica for clearance to return to the yard. Matt needs the main in order to get home...
Matt is now ready to head to the yard as the moves have been made off the secondary and mainline tracks...
At the yard limits...
And now back in the yard...
With the engine moved to the engine track 2 on the east ladder, the crew can now inspect and classify the inbound cars...
Kai pulls the gondolas...
As well as the reefers...
The caboose will get parked on west ladder track 1, which is the track directly beyond the Rock Ridge Yard office...
Matt had one more move to make, and that was to retrieve the gondolas off the east ladder and drop them on east ladder track 4...
And Kai has tied down for the day. The jobs are completed and the crews are done for the day...
We'll cut it here for today. Tomorrow we'll wrap up the last of the freight to be delivered to Ideal Auto Parts, Marcal and Freihofers.
Thanks for reading!!
