Welcome to another Penn Central Car Movement on the Atlantic Pacific Railroad! This is #105 in our ongoing series and is a one weekend series with outbound freight leaving Rock Ridge Yard for Sir John's N.Y.C.T.L. Railroad and PC Ralph's K.P.D. Railroad...
Today's action will send covered hoppers, coal hoppers and PS-2 covered hoppers to the NYCTL. Empty coal hoppers will head up to West Mill on the KPD and get forwarded to the Lehigh Valley Connection for more coal.
We start over at Cargill and a string of 6 covered hoppers will head to the Pier 16 Silos on the NYCTL...
A string of empty coal hoppers will head to Hudson Coal. While the warm weather is approaching, the APRR is starting its build for the upcoming winter season.

Our all-hopper theme for this op certainly provided a of of rail action at Rock Ridge! It was a pleasure to observe not one but two PC led freights leave Rock Ridge for points north. The RC-2 is a very good looking train with the string of tankers powered by the pair of RS units! West Mill is prepared to receive the six empty coal hoppers to forward to the Lehigh Valley via the KP&W. Whew! Railroad connections everywhere in this series!
