P.C.C.M. #35: Back to the virtual Ops!

Its been a while since posting about a Penn Central Car Movement (P.C.C.M.).    This has been due to the Kings Port Division's partner layout, The New York Central Train Layout (N.Y.C.T.L.), being temporarily shut down due to a home improvement project.

Here is a link to John's description of the closing of his layout.

Happily the project has been completed and the N.Y.C.T.L. is ready to receive cars again.    That being the case, its time for Yardmaster Cappy Foster to get back to work organizing cars that will be shipped to Terminal Yard.

Trains have been running on the Kings Port Division despite the temporary shut down of the N.Y.C.T.L.  as can be seen by the presence of so many P.C.C.M. cars at West Mill Yard.  These are cars that were involved in previous P.C.C.M.s and have been picked up from various industries on my layout to be forwarded on to Terminal Yard.  Some are loaded and some are empty among the examples below...

NYC switcher #8951 is boarded by yard crew members to start stringing together a cut of cars that will later be picked up by WV-2 (Weehawken to Selkirk) for eventual transfer to Terminal Yard in Empire City.

Just as the switcher heads out to work, Train VW-1 (Selkirk to Weehawken) can be seen passing by in the background, headed by a pair of GP38-2s.

The switcher works its way through the yard tracks and switches to reach the first cars of the cut.   Meanwhile VW-1 continues to roll by...

A trio of KP&W ribbed 50 foot boxcars is seen on VW-1.  These were picked up at Kings Port and will work their way to Weehawken where they will be transferred to the Atlantic Pacific Railroad (Neal's Layout) for future virtual operations.

  

The cars heading to the A.P.R.R.'s Rock Ridge Yard will be seen in future P.C.C.M.s!
  
Next up: Yard work to prepare the cut for WV-2.
