Welcome back to the continuation of Penn Central Car Movement #112!
Today the crew is going to build the outbound train for Weehawken Yard with freight cars for the Kings Port Division Railroad and some non-PCCM cars that will go south to the Morrisville, PA yard..
1:87 Engineer Kai is back in the seat and will start his moves.
Kai starts building the outbound train. Due to the small amount of cars and since this train ends in Weehawken, Kai is pulling cars without the need for specific blocking. The KP&W cars #30112 & 30115 are the only ones going to the KP&W from the AP. Other cars at Weehawken will be added to make the Penn Central Train WV-2 to Selkirk with a stop at the KP&W Yard in West Mill...
These KP&W cars will be moved to American Hardware once the yard crew sends out both outbound trains...
We see that NYC boxcar on A/D track C. That will go on the NYCTL outbound train...
The build continues...
The Penn Central crew arrives in the yard on the west ladder. The Penn Central has trackage right on the APRR as does the AP down in Weehawken Yard...
Kai pulls the caboose so he can add the freight cars to the engines. A pair GP40 engines handle this train...
Kai adds the caboose to the back of the train destined for Weehawken...
Now the Penn Central Extra can depart!!
The signal at CP Rock is Red so they await...
The Amber signal is up and they slowly depart the yard...
...And now departs Rock Ridge Yard on track 2...
That's all for today. Tomorrow the crew will build the outbound train for the NYCTL that makes stops at Weehawken before terminating at Selkirk Yard...
Don't forget to check the outbound portions of PCCM 112 on Sir John's NYCTL and PC Ralph's KPD Railroad
Thanks for reading!!

Acknowledge work of AP locomotives 106 & 107 assembling train for Weehawken.
Acknowledge dispatch of Extra 3240 Rock Ridge to Weehawken.
West Mill out.
Our Rail Traffic Management Form can create some unexpected car forwarding traffic patterns and in this case has only called for two cars to be forwarded to the Kings Port Division in this series! Amongst all of the freight traffic being moved at Rock Ridge the crew in 106 &107 did a nice job getting the two KP&W cars ready to go on Extra 3240. Looking forward to their arrival at West Mill!

Another fine installment Sir Neal!!! The PC GP40s looked good visiting Rock Ridge Yard via trackage rights. While Extra 3240 had the two PCCM KP&W cars the non PCCM cars rounding out the trains tonnage gave the PC Extra a train worthy of two GP40s!!! Nice work!!!
