P.C.C.M. 75 Installment 3 from the KPD

Greetings!

Yesterday Extra 4348 was dispatched to John's  New York Central Train Layout .    Today we're at West Mill Yard waiting for the dispatch of a short train of cars for Neal's Atlantic Pacific R.R.

Before dispatching the southbound cars to Weehawken for the A.P.R.R. to pick up, however, an MOW train is being sent down there to assist with storm damage between Weehawken and Rock Ridge Yard.

Today's southbound for Weehawken is powered by two GP9s.   Their crew is seen boarding the lead engine below.

The Yard's SW9 #8951 tacks a caboose onto the rear of the cut of cars for the A.P.R.R., officially making this a train, Extra #7175.

Watch a video of the action as Extra 7175 backs out of West Mill Yard and then pulls forward past WM Tower and later burrows into the tunnel south of town as it heads toward Weehawken.

The manifest for Extra #7175 includes:

NAHX Corning  90404  For Pennsylvania Glass Sand, Millville Plant (Empty) from Corning Glass co.

PC gons 576104 & 576123  For Shapeless Steel from KP Steel  (coils)

HRC black 40 ft boxcar  For C&P Restaurant Supply from Reynolds Beverage Distributors  (beer, wine. liquor)

SLRX Swift 4244  For Shop Rite from Swift & Co Lawrence MA.  (frozen meat)

E.B.R.R.  360279  For Marcal  from International Paper  (bulk paper)

Hopefully track between Weehawken and Rock Ridge will be cleared soon to allow these cars to continue their journey south on the A.P.R.R.!

And now, some intra-layout action on the KPD before signing off.    TP&W boxcar  #627 is being delivered to the Gulf Facility.

 

Arriving at Gulf

 

Watch the single car delivery leave West Mill in the video below

After setting out the TP&W car, SW9 8951 pulls a string of oil tankers back to West Mill

Other intra-layout moves that followers of the Rail Traffic Management Form will want to note:

KP&W 644450 and 644455 are moved empty from Cavendish Foods to Peerless Appliance.

After the KP&W cars are spotted, NYC boxcar #80755 is pulled empty from Peerless....

...and later forwarded empty to Amalgamated Container Co.

Meanwhile, back at West Mill a run to Bloomberg (WMB-1) heads out to deliver....

KP&W and MRCC gons to Bell Pole...

...and NH boxcar #36116 loaded with new cans to Van Winkle Canning

After the hour long trip up the Catskills the gons are spotted at Bell Pole across from the Agway elevator

...while NH 36116 is set out at Van Winkle.

While the Bloomberg Turn is at this industrial park it also pulls the old NYC Pacemaker from Catskill Mt. Press.

The car is later forwarded to Quality Fabrications

Another day, in action happening closer to Binghamton, three PC RBLs and NYC Hi-Cube 173861 are pulled from IBM.

The Hi-Cube later ends up spotted at Corning Glass Co.

...while the RBLs are delivered to International Paper Co.

That concludes the inter and intra layout moves on the KPD in this "outbound" part of the 75th series.  Keep an eye open for next week as the "inbounds" arrive from John's and Neal's layouts and need to be delivered to their consignees!
