AP #100 with Engineer JP heads out and will pick up the coal hopper and reefer then run them over to the yard. From there, they'll be blocked for their appropriate destination...
JP has dropped the cars, and now heads back to the industrial area...
Meanwhile AP MP15 #105 heads out as train RE-3 to pick up some freight cars from Ideal Auto Parts and Freihofers Bakeries. Engineer Kai is in the cab with brakeman Jim...
First stop is over at Fereihofer. An empty covered hopper will go back to the yard and the crew will shuffle it over to Cargill for reloading for their next destination. The HRC box car will head over to Ralph's Grocery with baked goods including Freihofers Chocolate Chip Cookies!!
A short distance away over at Ideal Auto Parts, 3 box cars will head to the Ford Plant Co. in Somerville, MA. via the KPD...
Kai awaits at LJ tower for instructions before heading back to the yard...
Train RE-3 heading to Rock Ridge Yard...
Kai stops at SI tower for instructions in to the yard....

They await the signal at CP Rock...
...And off they go...!
Another signal from LJ Tower...
And they head out to the North Side of Rock Ridge....
Now over at C&P Restuarant Supply, the crew works the job. (Note they're picking up 8 cars not 7 as the video states...UGH!)
The crew has the cars and await for the signal at WH tower to head back to the yard...
The signal is set and they can head east to the yard...
They're on yard lead track 2 and will get crossed over by the SI tower into the yard...

And we're off!!! Great to start to PCCM 102!!! I liked the narration in the videos. It's been a long time since I've seen the APRR in action and I thoroughly enjoyed all of it. Nice to see the WFE reefers making their PCCM debut and the four car block of TP&W boxcars returning to virtual ops action. Once again the AP crews did a good job and looked good doing it!!! Nice work Sir Neal!!!
