This time the West Mill Yard crew is setting up the transfer of two PC hoppers and one B&M RBL car for Corning Glass which is located in Corning, NY along the KP&W line to Salamanca, NY. Old reliable NYC switcher #8951 is fired up to move the three cars to the departure track next to the main for easy pick up by a KP&W freight from Fulton Ave Yard in Kings Port.
Pulling cars off the Yard Lead...
...and setting them out for later pick-up by the KP&W.
The stage is set for KP&W Extra #160 to pick up the cars for Corning. Here it is seen coming out of the underpass that is near the entrance to both the PC's Williams Yard and the KP&W's Fulton Ave Yard.
The train later arrives at West Mill...
...and the F7A&B slows to a stop near the cars they will be adding to their train.
Cut from the train, the consist rolls forward...
...switches tracks to back into the three car cut from Terminal Yard....
...pulls them forward to change tracks again....
....and couples up with the train.
After the air is good to go, the train proceeds toward Corning.
That is the last of the transfers for the KP&W.
We wrap up P.C.C.M. #33 in the next installment as a short Yard Job serves Empire Grain, Canton Box, and Sal's Salvage near West Mill Yard.
Some nice movement on the KP&W Ralph! I like the detailed photos of the cars and where they move, especially with the great scenery you have! Looking forward to the wrap up on P.C.C.M. 33!
ReplyDeleteThanks Neal!
DeleteWhat I note is that while the vintage bluebox and such cars look very good, especially with weathering and Kadees, the newer ones from Scale Trains and Atlas really sparkle.
ReplyDeleteThanks John. I like those Scale Trains cars too. I hope they come out with more. A PC boxcar would be nice!

Nice job Ralph! Another fine installment of the P.C.C.M.s and a great showcase of your layout, structures and railroad equipment. Nice to see the KP&W getting a bigger role and more stage time!
ReplyDeleteThanks John,
DeleteSo far so good on the increased operations involving West Mill. Looking forward to working our more details about the Mountain Branch industries.
