Welcome to the final outbound portion of Penn Central Car Movement #102! This three layout outbound part of this series features Sir John's incredible New York Central Layout and PC Ralph's amazing Kings Port Division railroads.
The Rock Ridge Yard crew is ready to get this outbound train on the road on time! Dan and Matt are in the pair of AP MP15 engines...
A quick stop at SI Tower as Dan and Matt need to pick up the 4 PC PS-2 hoppers at their sister yard, Rock Ridge East...
They grab the 4 cars off yard track 3....
And shove back to Rock Ridge Yard....
And they spot the cars on track 'C', even for a short time....
The Penn Central has sent up from Weehawken Yard an F7 ABA consist for the the outbound train.
They wait for the signal at the yard limit...
...And head in to Rock Ridge yard...
A quick wave to Rich and the company as they head into the yard....
...And arriving up the East Ladder...
The yard crew break off the caboose...

Great job getting the PCCM traffic moving out of Rock Ridge and towards Weehawken and Selkirk!!! The PC was one of maybe a handful of railroads that could muster an F7 A-B-A set in the mid 70s and your consist looks and sounds great. Terminal Yard is ready to receive the inbound traffic!!!
