P.C.C.M. #33J: The "Turn" returns!

After having completed work at Williams Yard, the Kings Port Turn heads back to West Mill Yard with the formally trailing unit, RSD12 #6865, now at the head end.

The Turn has picked up some cars from Williams Yard including PC gondola # 288673, now empty after its shipment of pipes from Gervais Pipe and Fitting was unloaded for the Hudson Valley Ag. Coop.  Two empty TOFCs that came with trailers from Terminal Yard have also been picked up At Williams Yard. 

The train doesn't venture far from Williams Yard before stopping to pick up two cars from Battaglia Bros. Warehouse and set out two at Blue Ribbon Flour.

The caboose is cut....

...and the train backs into the spur shared by Battaglia Bros and Blue Ribbon Flour


...and pulls two cars from Battaglia Bros (PC #106502 and the red Triangle Pacific #5510) prior to setting out the NYC covered hopper and PC 50 ft boxcar #229046 at Blue Ribbon.

PC #106502 and Triangle Pacific #5510, are coupled to the caboose...

...and then the Turn shoves the NYC covered hopper and PC #229046 into Blue Ribbon Flour.


Once the set outs are completed, the Turn reassembles itself and heads back toward West Mill.

Approaching Hedberg Aggregates from the other direction, the Turn can now pick up the two hoppers.




The Turn is later seen drifting down grade from Marion.


Approaching WM tower and West Mill Yard.


Entering the yard.


The Turn's assignment completed, the crew disembarks and calls it a day.

Next up:  Transfers to the KP&W.

  1. Once again a great action packed report. The scenery and structures are over the top, especially the Aggregates Plant. Thanks.

  3. Another nice showcase of the great scenes, rolling stock and locomotives of the Kings Port Division. The scenes leading into Williams Yard and the upper level showing Blue Ribbon Flour and the area around the NY Saints ballpark are very well done and the latter not seen all that often so that was a nice treat.
