The crew sees that Penn Central GP38-2 engines #3111/3141 has arrived at CP Rock. NJ John will have the guys pull the outbound cars on A/D tracks 'A' & 'B'.
There are 22 cars on both tracks the crews will pull and get this train on the road...
Let's see the guys get this train built...!
The freight cars are blocked on the west ladder. The engines are on the east ladder so they'll run down the east side and hook on to the cars...
That's the last of the cars for Terminal Yard and the NYCTL...
All 4 TP&W box cars are heading to University Millwork...
The PC crew hooks on to the freight cars, checks the hoses and brake lines for the journey north...
A final set of orders from Rich and they'll be on their way...
Little Jamaica Tower Operator Steve readies the signals...
And gives the crew an approach signal to proceed as Penn Central Extra 3111...
Final destination - Terminal Yard!!
This concludes my outbound portion of New York New Jersey Ops #2! Next week the inbound freight from the NYCTL and other destinations arrives at the APRR.
Don't forget to check both outbound and inbound freight on Sir John's NYCTL!!
Thanks for reading!!

Another fine post Sir Neal!! The APRR continues to shine as the star of the show with the PC playing a good support role. Rock Ridge Yard runs as smoothly as ever even when foreign roads come in. Get in and get out!!! The Terminal Yard crew will be ready to receive the NY-NJ freight traffic!!! BTW the TP&W RBLs are getting to be 1:87 scale railfan favorites!!!
