P.C.C.M. #102 Part 6 - The Last Of The Freight Gets Delivered!

 


Welcome back to the conclusion of the inbound portion of Penn Central Car Movement #102 on the APRR. Freight for Shapeless Steel and C&P Restaurant Supply will be heading out today...

Dan and Matt get to work on the build...


The PC gondolas from KP Steel on the KPD will be loaded up for it's next destination...


The black EB gondolas will be unloaded and then sent back to Gervais Pipe on the NYCTL...



The BAR reefers and AP Box cars will head to C&P on the same train as the gondolas. Both industries are located on the north side of Rock Ridge...



Here's the yard crew sorting the cars for today's run...



AP GP38-2 #307 will handle the duties for today. Mark will make the run out to the north of Rock Ridge. He'll depart as AP Train RN-6...


The train is getting ready to depart...



Mark waits for the signal at CP Rock...


And heads out...


Train RN-6 passing SI Tower...


Mark now arrives over by Shapeless Steel...


Let's watch Mark spot the Penn Central gondola cars on Track 2...


The cars from Gervais Pipe are dropped on track 1...


Next stop is Shapeless Steel....



Four cars will be dropped off with frozen foods from Birdseye and Louis Sherry as well as some packaged foods from Ralph's Grocery...


The cars are in the warehouse and all that's left to do is to pick up the caboose and head back to the yard...


Mark waits for the order to take the main and head back to the yard...


Train RN-6 caboose lite heads back to the yard...


...And a roll by SI tower....


Mark is back in the yard and the work for PCCM #102 is now finished! Well done guys!


Don't forget to check out to the action on John's N.Y.C.T.L. Railroad and Ralph's Kings Port & Western Railroad.

One special note. Some of you who carefully follow my blog and posts may have noticed the tower that was formerly called 'CP South' has been changed to 'SI Tower (South Industrial Tower) or CP SI'. The reason for the change is due to the new track configuration of the Rock Ridge Industrial Area. There used to be one track that serviced the industries, and during the time when I held in person train ops, an engineer had to wait for the operator of that area to either clear the track or let the other guy wait until he finished his work. That no longer happens as the track has been reconfigured and a new passing track in from the of industrial area has been added. Now the engineer of the industrial area can do his work and trains can depart or arrive Rock Ridge Yard...

Thanks for reading!
