Great way to close out the PCCM 111 Inbound moves on the APRR!!! Three AP Trains plus yard job with two PC Trains meeting the AP Trains made for some good high density North Jersey rail traffic!!! Another enjoyable showcase of efficient train movements and good looking trains and structures. I liked the fifty two caboose!! Well done Sir Neal!!!
Put it in the books!!!

Wow! There was a lot going on at Rock Ridge today! It was great to be privy to the crew planning prior to the dispatch of the first train. Lots of car movements but I especially enjoyed the set out at Ideal Auto Parts. I see the King Port Railfan Society drove down to Rock Ridge after railfanning at Empire City the other day! It was certainly worth the trip to see the close out of PCCM 11 on the APRR!
