Orange and black locomotives all over the scene getting the job done at several industries! It really is a well coordinated series of movements at Rock Ridge! Larger boxcars and a string of gondolas seem to be the rolling stock theme of the day! Great stuff!

Nice job gathering up all the PCCM freight cars from the Rock Ridge industries along with the non PCCM traffic. Some serious car movements this day with the APRR crews getting it done in fine fashion. The yard crews were kept busy by the steady arrival of freight cars and will need their A game in the next post. Nice work Sir Neal!!!
