Hello once again!
Welcome back to our virtual ops that we call Penn Central Car Movements! This is a three layout venture between John's New York Central Train Layout, Neal's Atlantic Pacific R.R., and my own Kings Port Division. Last weekend I featured the "outbound" installments of this 81st series in which trains left my layout to travel "virtually", thanks to photographing duplicate rolling stock, to John's and Neal's. This weekend I'll show trains arriving from their layouts to mine.
The first to arrive is Extra #7675 from Weehawken. The cars on this train were originally dispatched on an APRR train from Rock Ridge. The cars were interchanged with the PC in Weehawken for the trip "up the river".
Watch Extra #7675 arrive at West Mill in the video below:
The train pulls forward of the yard entrance and prepares to back into West Mill Yard.
Watch Extra #7675 shove its cars into West Mill Yard in the video below:
We'll leave the West Mill Yard crew to break up that train. Let's head over to Kings Port where the second of three trains coming to the KPD in this series is about to arrive.
This mixed manifest train from Selkirk to West Mill will perform some set outs along the way. Watch the train arrive in Kings Port in the video below:
The first job is to leave LV #7120 on the interchange with the Kings Port & Western R.R. The car, sent from Jamaica Food, will be returned empty to Frontier Yard in Buffalo NY.
Watch the set out in the video below:
After dropping off LV #7120 the train leaves Kings Port:
LV #7120 waits on the interchange track for a Williams Yard switcher to take it to the yard.
Extra #8150 later stops at the Gulf facility to drop off two empty tankers returned from Terminal Yard.
After the tankers are set out, the train continues on its way to West Mill. Before entering the yard it drops off P&LE gondola #40081 loaded with scrap from Gershow for Sal's Salvage.
After the gon is set out the train reconnects itself, neatly joining two Hoschton Railway cars that had been separated up to this point. The HRC was the freelanced road of our late friend Engineer Ed.
Watch the train pull into West Mill Yard with its remaining cars after its caboose was pulled in the video below:
That's it for today! Stay tuned tomorrow as the third train scheduled for the KPD arrives!

Terminal Yard out...
The KPD GP38 fleet looking good providing the power for the inbound trains! I like the work of the Extra 8150 in Kings Port and West Mill prior to arriving at the yard. A good idea to add that prototypical action and it was nicely done. Photo and videos are up to their usual very high standards! Excellent blog entry to open up Outbound weekend!

Rock Ridge Yard Out!
Always nice to see a video from any of the trains arriving in West Mill and Kings Port. The Gulf facility with the details you’ve added make it look like it’s a huge complex. Nice work!
