P.C.C.M. 75: Installment 6 on the KPD

 Hello railfans!

This is the sixth and final installment from the KPD for this milestone 75th virtual ops series!  Cars are being forwarded from John's  New York Central Train Layout and Neal's Atlantic Pacific R.R.  to their respective consignees.

We'll start with four cars that arrived early today from Neal's A.P.R.R.  The cut from the A.P.R.R. includes two empty KP&W coal hoppers.... 

 ...and a PC Hi Cube that will be picked up by a transfer run from Mayfield Yard arriving at West Mill, as well as PC boxcar #160502 that will be forwarded to Battaglia Bros. Warehouse in Kings Port.

Watch West Mill's SD9 #6922 pull the A.P.R.R. cut into the yard.

 In anticipation of the KP&W Transfer, SD9 #6922 is unloading the car float of empty coal hoppers from Port Owen's Edison Power Plant.   The two KP&W hoppers will travel to Mayfield with them.

The car float hoppers are set on the track next to the float.

The two KP&W hoppers (#233 &234) are added to the string for Mayfield.

PC Hi Cube #272747 loaded with hardware for Peerless Appliance is also going for a ride on the Mayfield Transfer and is added to the string of hoppers.

KP&W Extra #566 (the Mayfield Transfer) has arrived with a string of loaded hoppers for the car float that will be exchanged for the empties that were just pulled off the barge.

 After backing into West Mill Yard it drops off loaded hoppers from the Lehigh valley Connection

Loads and empties side by side.

The two KP&W units uncouple from their loaded hoppers and move over one track to pick up the PC Hi Cube and the empty hoppers, including KP&W 233 & 234.

...and the KP&W Transfer is underway for Mayfield.

The Mayfield Transfer arrives at Mayfield late in the day.   The two KP&W empty coal hoppers will be hauled to the Lehigh Valley Coal Connection this evening by LV #305 in the foreground

PC Hi Cube #272747 is delivered to Peerless Appliance the next morning by the Mayfield Local.

Lets head back over to the KP&W's Williams Yard near Kings Port.

The WiBi is getting ready to go! Power for WiBi-1 consists of F7As #110 and #175 seen backing up to their train.

LV #8274 is going back empty to the Delco company in Flint, MI

The "WeeBee" (technically WiBi-1) gets underway...

..and later arrives at West Mill...

....to dead head two B&M units "borrowed" by the KP&W for a transfer run to West Mill in a previous post.

 Once the Bluebird units reach Binghamton they will be pressed into service on a pooled power run with the D&H to Mechanicville before heading back to Massachusetts.  The B&M is well aware of the KP&W's tendency to "purloin" their locomotives and usually sends older First Generation locomotives on its runs to Williams Yard as a result.

After adding the B&M units to its consist the WiBi leaves West Mill

After the run to Binghamton cleared the tracks, West Mill's twin RSD 12s couple up to a short Northbound Turn that will deliver the last remaining car forwarded from the A.P.R.R.

PC plug door boxcar #160502 is loaded with merchandise from Three Amigos Warehouse that is being sent to Battaglia Bros. Warhouse in Kings Port.

The train heads out with other "nonplayer" cars in tow as it passes by the now empty A.P.R.R. #9416 that was loaded with ballast for West Mill MOW.

The Turn arrives at Kings Port where it sets out PC #160502 at Battaglia Brothers Warehouse whose siding is located beyond the underpass.

 

That last set out at Battaglia Brothers Warehouse completes the disposition of all cars sent to the Kings Port Division for this series!   Its been a great one all around!  Thanks for following along!
