Wrapping up P.C.C.M. #33: Local yard run.

Just one more bit of work to do with the cars that were recently sent to West Mill from Terminal Yard.  Two gondolas loaded with scrap wheels need to be set out at nearby Sal's Salvage.   NYC switcher #8951 gets no rest as it is called to set out the two gons and pick up cars at other local industries.

Sal's is right there but the spur is behind the switcher.  It will set the gons aside, pick up other cars, and then return so it can run behind them and push them into Sal's Salvage.

 While the gondolas wait, the switcher runs behind them to pick up a Penn Central boxcar from Canton Box Co.  This car was full of 55 gallon drums of ink for printing on their boxes and cartons.  The PC car will work its way to KP Steel Supply to get new empty barrels, and then on to Drywell Inks on the N.Y.C.T.L to have them filled...and the cycle continues.

Next stop for our switcher is Empire Grain to pick up four covered hoppers. 

Backing into Empire Grain with the PC boxcar trailing.

That rusty NYC covered hopper has been sitting in the background of some of my photos for over a month!  Time to pick it up so it generates some revenue!

The string of cars heads back toward the yard lead so it can get behind the two gons of scrap wheels...

All of the cars are pushed forward of the yard lead entrance and then pulled back onto the lead.

The train is now in position to shove the gons into Sal's spur.

The magnetic crane lifts scrap wheels out of the gons.

After the set outs are completed the rest of the cars head for the yard.

That completes the work for P.C.C.M. #33!  Thanks for following along!
