Welcome to a PCCMs Tropicana NW2 #5281!!! My 1:87 scale self enjoyed the opportunity to run the engine and test it in various switching duties at the Tropicana Plant. In April the PC took delivery of phase V NW2 #8807. After the testing at Tropicana the Empire Belt RR may have to try and "borrow" the PC 8807.
A fine job by all APRR personnel in Rock Ridge for their smooth handling of the PCCM and non PCCM traffic that has recently arrived. The area industries are lucky to be served by such a railroad!!! I'm looking forward to seeing the PCCM freight travel the final mile in style.
Nice work all around Sir Neal!!!
Thanks for letting me man the throttle of the Tropicana NW2!!!

The Tropicana scene is fantastic with the company rolling stock and the orange Tropicana NW2! "Orange is the new black" with the Tropicana equipment, the APRR locomotives and freight car, the BAR cars, the TP&W car, and the KP&W cars! Whatever color the rolling stock, however, the APRR crews keep it moving and get it to its scheduled destination!
