P.C.C.M. 46D: The Latest Series Continues on the Kings Port Division

Greetings all!

Penn Central Car Movement Series #46 has started on John's New York Central Train Layout.
See his three posts about the gathering of cars and the dispatch of trains for this series:

Two trains were dispatched to Selkirk, one with a block of cars for West Mill on my layout.  That cut was then dispatched from Selkirk to West Mill as Extra 1871.

Railfans often haunt Ulster Ave in Kings Port.  Its a busy train watching location and Dave's Diner makes a handy lunch spot.

Extra !871, led by an F7A, F7B, GP38-2 consist crosses Ulster Ave. on its way to West Mill. 

Our photographer missed the GP38-2 but his buddy with the 8mm video camera managed to catch it.  (See below).  RI #35062 is loaded with hardware for Quality Fabrications.

Two 38 foot hopper loads of coal for Corning Glass' power plant.

P&E #3638 is full of packaging materials for Cavendish Foods

The 86 ft. Auto Parts car is empty for ACME Auto Parts

Two empty coil cars for Kings Port Steel

Two gons of scrap wheels for Sal's Salvage

Two TOFC for Williams Yard.  Note the Empire Belt trailer!

TPFX #5510 and PC # 360158 are loaded with cabinets for Battaglia Bros. Warehouse

 Bay window caboose in pre-merger scheme brings up the rear.

 Here is a video of the train rolling over Ulster Ave. with a shot of the "Orange C" GP38-2!

 Extra 1871 arrives at West Mill and slows to enter the yard.

As the train rolls by the two gons loaded with scrap wheels pass Sal's Salvage, their consignee.

Flanges squeal as 86 foot #67086 rounds the curve.

Entering the yard.   Relatively recent acquisition GP38-2 #8150 awaits assignment on one of the engine tracks while the yard switcher idles in the foreground.

Extra 1871 pulls all the way onto track one

The yard switcher pulls the caboose...

 ...while the crew exits the head end.

After the caboose is set on the caboose track, the yard switcher gets to work breaking up the train into two parts: a block for the Kings Port Turn, and a cut for transfer to the KP&W.  The cut is made between the auto parts car and one of the coil cars.

Pulling the Kings Port Turn cut.

While pulling this cut it was decided to separate the two gons for Sal's Salvage.  These two cars can be delivered by the yard switcher to the scrap yard just beyond the yard limits. 

After sorting the cars, the switcher crew and Yardmaster Cappy Foster confer about moving the gons to Sal's.  Quick delivery of these cars has been encouraged by an offer Cappy"couldn't refuse"

The special move for Sal's Salvage gets underway.

The switcher's engineer is greeted by Sal Monella himself who refers to him as "my friend" and expresses appreciation for the quick delivery with a wink and a bottle of Cavendish Single Malt.

The two gons are set out at Sal's, "taking care of business"

That's more than enough for now!  Stay tuned as the Kings Port Turn is dispatched from West Mill.
