Yesterday a good number of cars sent to the KPD in this series were forwarded to Mayfield Yard and subsequently to their consignees. In this last installment of the series on my layout we'll follow the movement of cars left on the interchange track in Kings Port as well as two others at West Mill that will be picked up by a KP&W freight to Binghamton.
Starting at Kings Port, the cars left on the interchange by PC Extra 8150 the other day have been pulled into Williams Yard. They include PC #229046 (just visible behind the B&M car) which will be set out at Blue Ribbon Flour....
...three TOFCs
...and PC gon #288673 loaded with pipe for the Hudson Valley Ag Coop. that will be unloaded in the yard.
The TOFCs are brought over to the unloading ramp. A fourth TOFC with the silver PC trailer can be seen in the background. This one will be included in future P.C.C.M.s!
PC #288673 is spotted for unloading.
The one car of the interchange cut going to an outside-of-yard consignee is PC #229046 loaded with printed packaging from Berk Enterprises for Blue Ribbon Flour. A one-car local powered by S12 #34 does the honors...
Switching over to the industrial lead....
Blue Ribbon's loading dock is on a lower level just beyond the overpass.
Moving over to West Mill for a moment we see the two remaining cars that were brought in the other day by Extra 8150; PC #160502 for IBM and EBRR #360279 for International Paper. The yard's SW9 switcher pulls them for placement on a siding for the next KP&W train to Binghamton.
Watch the SW9 at work while a Weehawken to Selkirk transfer rolls through West Mill in the video below:
The two cars are ready to be picked up by the next "WeeBee", or Williams Yard to Binghamton run (KP&W Train WiBi-4)
Back at Williams Yard, WiBi-4 has been assembled and its consist of two F7As has just coupled up with the train.
Watch the same Weehawken to Selkirk train that we saw passing through West Mill continue its trip northbound and make the WeeBee wait in the video below:
Watch the WeeBee arrive at West Mill later in the afternoon:
The twin F units separate from the train, pull ahead to switch tracks and back into the two cars set out by West Mill's SW9.
The two cars are now coupled up to WiBi-4
After testing air and connections WiBi-4 proceeds to Binghamton.
Watch the last two cars get delivered to their consignees: EBRR #360279 loaded with processing machines from Reliable Machine for International Paper, and PC #160502 loaded with bulk hardware from American Hardware for IBM.
That's a wrap for this series on the KPD! Its been a fun one as always! Be sure to check John's New York Central Train Layout and Neal's Atlantic Pacific R.R. to follow the action on their layouts!

It’s a wrap! The delivery of freight heading to Binghamton is very impressive. The “F” units pulling those freight cars ever so slowly looked awesome! KP&W S-12 #34 looked great. I think it’s the first time I’ve seen it in action.
