P.C.C.M. 81: Part 8 on the KPD

 Hi everyone!

If you're still following along with the Kings Port Division in this 81st Penn Central Car Movement series you'll know that I'm going to wrap up the KPD's involvement in this installment.  A lot of freight traffic has been exchanged between my Kings Port Division with John's New York Central Train Layout and Neal's Atlantic Pacific R.R. this time!

In the last installment the Mayfield Transfer was seen returning to Mayfield Yard after picking up cars at West Mill.  Here are some photos of the action shortly after the train's arrival.  KP&W 38 foot hoppers #233 &234 have been added to a train that will take them to the Lehigh Valley's coal connections for loading.  A pooled KP&W/LV consist is at the point. 

In the background you can see a short KP&W "Local Job" heading out of Mayfield with cars to be set out at local industries. 

The first stop on this local run is ACME Auto parts.

Three 60 foot auto parts cars are being set out here to be loaded for Ford Motor Co. on the N.Y.C.T.L.

The second and last stop is Amalgamated Container Co.   The KP&W boxcar was sent from American Hardware on Neal's layout loaded with screws and fasteners.

That completes the brief work of the "Local Job"  GP9 #742 heads back to Mayfield Yard.

As the Geep returns to Mayfield, we will return to West Mill where one of their own local runs is prepared to depart.  This train will run caboose first to expedite switching after a short trip to Lower Kings Port where Reynolds Beverage Distributors and the Gulf river facility are located.  The Gulf tankers are non-P.C.C.M. cars while the black HRC car is is loaded with Schaefer beer.  Watch the train leave West Mill in the video below:

Now follow the action as the RSD12 sets out tankers at Gulf and the HR boxcar at Reynolds Beverage Distributors, and then returns to West Mill.

The final move of the series involves PC #160502 loaded with stored materials from Three Amigos Warehouse that is being transferred to Battaglia Bros. Warehouse.   NH boxcar #36116 has been loaded with Port Owen bricks for American Building Products in E. Deerfield Maine.   Both cars will be set out for pick up by the next KP&W BiWi headed to Williams Yard. The KP&W will deliver the PC car to Battaglias on a local run while the NH car will be forwarded to New England via the KP&W's connection to the B&M.

The yard switcher back at work again pulls the cars out of the yard and sets them on a siding for convenient pick up by the scheduled BiWi.

 A couple of hours later BiWi-4 arrives and stops for the pick up.

After adding the two cars to its train the BiWi proceeds to Williams Yard.

And THAT is the last move of the series!   Its been a fun challenge to keep the freight moving!  Thanks for following along!
