Let's get right into the action...
1:87 Yardmaster NJ John has his daily meeting and advises the crew of today's moves...
Train RE-7 - Ideal Auto Parts via Rock Ridge East Yard
Train RC-4 Marcal and C&P Restaurant Supply
Cars are being pulled in the yard...
Mark will head out as train RC-4
Mark will need to take the secondary track at Little Jamaica to make his move. But first...
Mark now has the rest of his train and his next and last stop is C&P Restaurant Supply...
A short time later Mark heads over to Rock Ridge East Yard where he'll pick up a large string of Auto Parts Box cars from the Ford Plant at Bedford, NY on the NYCTL to be loaded with auto parts and electronics to go back to Ford...
1:87 M&E Engineer Steve works with Mark to get this train moving...
Steve adds the caboose back on Mark's train....
Steve's job is done. Quick move and he still gets paid for a full day!!
A short time later, Mark is at Ideal. Lots of cars for Ideal on this run...
AP Train RI-7 dropping empty auto parts cars at Ideal Auto Parts for loading to return to the Ford Motors Plant on the NYCTL...
The siding at Ideal can only handle 4 cars, so the rest will sit on the Little Jamaica secondary track. When the first set of cars are loaded, Ideal will call the APRR freight office to have the cars moved out and the empties brought in...
Mark is now back at CP South and checks in with Tower Operator Rich...
...A short time later arrives at the yard office. Mark earned his pay for today!
Dan is back on West Ladder track 1, commonly known as the engine track adjacent to the yard office. Now, where's Kai? Who knows. Hopefully he'll be back for our next PCCM!!
Don't forget to catch the inbound freight from my railroad on both Sir John's N.Y.C.T.L. and PC Ralph's K.P.D. railroads!
Thanks for reading and watch for our next PCCM!!

Terminal Yard out...
Put it in the books!!! Some fancy footwork this series by the APRR crews keeping all of the PCCM traffic from Terminal Yard moving efficiently through Rock Ridge Yard and to the intended consignees and interchanges without suffering a melt down. Lesser railroads would have crumbled under the sheer magnitude of freight cars needing to be moved!!! Well done Sir Neal!!!

Congratulations Rock Ridge on the completion of another series of car movements from Terminal Yard and West Mill! It took a lot of work to deliver all cars to their respective consignees but we enjoyed following along! Some heads up switching to save time and effort at Marcal and C&P Restaurant Supply. Nice use of "constructive placement" at Ideal Auto Parts! Excellent presentation al around!
