P.C.C.M. 59: 6th and final installment from the KPD

Hi gang. 

A coincidentally challenging collection of car forwarding came to West Mill this series and has required an extra post or two to finally get all cars to their consignees.  You'll see that happen below.

You may recall that we left West Mill with a cut of cars for Mayfield waiting for a KP&W Williams Yard to Mayfield Yard Transfer Run to pick them up.

Meanwhile in Kings Port, all is quiet at Ulster Ave. and Volstead's Tavern until the horn of an EMD F7A can be heard in distance...

 See the Williams Yard Transfer cross Ulster Ave with an F7-SD9 consist in the video below:

 The transfer arrives at West Mill and picks up cars for Mayfield area industries.




See the KP&W transfer back the pick-ups into the rest of its train and then pull forward to leave West Mill in the video below:

 Taking the KP&W cutoff toward Mayfield. So long West Mill!

As the transfer run heads to Mayfield lets review our situation.  The KP&W's Bloomberg Run up the Catskill Mountain Branch seen in yesterday's post has arrived in town and is setting cars out at:

Woodstock Hills Natural Soda (PC #77047 loaded with pallets from Neal's Lumber)


Van Winkle Canning. (TP&W #627 seen already spotted behind PC #77407, loaded with printed labels from Berk Enterprises)

Zenith TV (PC #360158 loaded with cabinets from University Milling) That's the Bloomberg Run!

Meanwhile Cappy Foster gets calls from Sal's Salvage and Canton Box saying they are ready for the second halves of their respective shipments that have been held in constructive placement due to short spurs at both businesses.

The yard switcher goes out to pull the empties.


And then returns to replicate an earlier move serving the two industries with a shove into Sal's Salvage....

Two more gons of rough scrap for Sal's shredder....

and a boxcar loaded with rolled cardboard from Colorado backed into Canton Box Co.


Finally, the train to Mayfield we saw in the videos above arrives at the KP&W yard and the cars are later sent out on a local to:

Peerless Appliance (GT boxcar loaded with motors from Wazee Electric and an EL boxcar full of shipping crates from Neal's lumber)
 
ACME Auto Parts (NYC #80755 loaded with steel wool muffler mesh from Walsh Steel Wool)

and Cavendish Foods. (Empty PC #890658 to be loaded with spent wort for cattle feed)



All cars forwarded to West Mill have now been delivered so that FINALLY concludes the KPD's participation is this series!  It been a lot of fun work!  Thanks for following along and remember to ship by rail!
