P.C.C.M. #110 Part 6 - Freight Heads Out To The Consignees!!

Welcome back to the conclusion of Penn Central Car Movement #110 on the Atlantic Pacific Railroad.

Today the yard crew will dispatch out of Rock Ridge Yard three trains as follows:

AP Train RC-4: C&P Restaurant Supply - 8 cars
AP Train RT-2: Three Amigos Warehouse and Shapeless Steel - 5 cars
AP Train RE-6: Freihofers Bakeries and Marcal Paper - 4 cars

In addition, one more move with Rock Ridge Yard as follows:

AP Train RI-3 to Morton Salt - 1 car


Norman and Mark will be running train RE-6...


AP Train RC-4 with Norman on board is on outbound track #2 and AP Train RT-2 with Mark and Jim are on outbound track #1...


Train RT-2 will be the first out...


RT-2 on the move...


Now AP Train RE-6 moves into position...


RE-6 is on the move...!


A quick move and the crew spots the cars on the Little Jamaica secondary...



RE-6 heads back to Rock Ridge...


RE-6 back at CP South...


Meanwhile over at West Harold, RT-2 gets ready to drop some cars at Three Amigos...



The next move is on to Shapeless Steel...


Now AP Train RC-4 heading out to C&P Restaurant Supply...


RC-4 makes it was on to the West Harold Secondary to work C&P Restaurant Supply. Once they clear, RT-2 can work Shapeless Steel...






RC-4 is back at the yard limit. The crew will head into the yard once NJ John gives tower operator Rich the 'OK'!



RE-6 is tied down. RT-2 is still out there...


We head over to Shapeless Steel as the crew will drop off the 4 gondolas...


RT-2 is finished and picks up their caboose and gets ready to head back to Rock Ridge Yard...



RT-2 is back and recaps with NJ John...


AP 307 ties down on east ladder track 2...


The last move for Kai and the AP crew is the Morton covered hopper from Cavendish Foods...





The last move is complete. Kai, NJ John and the rest of the AP crew call it a day! 

But wait....!!

A last minute call from West Harold Tower to NJ John states that additional traffic is moving east thru Rock Ridge and there's a vehicle adjacent to the tower with some guys taking photos!


Now we know what the excitement was all about!!

That wraps up the moves for Penn Central Car Movement #110 on the APRR!

Make sure you check out the inbound cars on  Sir John's NYCTL Railroad and more action over at Kings Port & West Mill on PC Ralph's Kings Port Division Railroad!

Thanks for reading and we hope you enjoyed all of our train movements!

    Awesome job Sir Neal!!! I'm jealous that I wasn't with the KPRS crew to witness TV-10N passing West Harold and all of the APRR train moves!! The PC GP40s looked great with that impressive TOFC train!! The orange & black did a bang up job today getting the PCCM freight delivered on time and in good shape. A very impressive line up and train movements to close out your PCCM 110 car movements.

    After yesterday I knew those KPRS guys would drive down to Rock Ridge to catch some train action! They love the APRR but are PC guys at home so the TV-10N was a bonus for them! Nice surprise there! Our Rail Traffic Management Form dictated a lot of moves in Rock Ridge and it was a pleasure to follow along as cars were delivered to their consignees among all of the industry around Rock Ridge Yard! Great installment! Great series! Thanks!
