PCCM 108: Part 6 on the KPD

 Hello again! 

If you're reading this you know that we are running Penn Central Car Movement Series 108,  a  three layout "virtual ops" exchange of freight cars between John's New York Central Train Layout , Neal's Atlantic Pacific RR, and my own Kings Port Division. 

This is the final installment from the Kings Port Division for this series.

After previous installments in which several trains were dispatched from West Mill Yard to deliver cars to their respective consignees its time to head over to the Kings Port & Western's Williams Yard where a sizeable "Steel Job" is being prepared for nearby KP Steel.  The train includes a number of gondolas loaded with scrap metal, a group of Evans coil coach cars, and a string of hoppers loaded with coal. 

The Steel Job is ready to depart Williams Yard and arrive at KP Steel

The Steel job arrives at KP Steel where industrial switcher #3 moves cars around at the steel complex.

And that concludes the PCCM 108 ops...sort of....

And now for the OOPS! part of our program.  I tend make at least one error per series while managing the movement of so many freight cars.  This seems almost prototypical when modeling the Penn Central railroad!  :)

 

In any case, back at West Mill, Yardmaster Cappy Foster ain't happy.  

He's staring at two MEC bulkhead flats that were supposed to have been directed to Mechanicville from Selkirk Yard.  Instead, they ended up being included on a VW-1 transfer and set out here by mistake.

The old NYC Pacemaker car was supposed to have been included in a cut of cars for a Kings Port & Western transfer to take back with them to Mayfield Yard but it was missed in the yard.

The red and gray NYC boxcar is included on the next West Mill transfer run to the KP&W's Mayfield Yard in a relatively humble move compared to its glory days in Pacemaker unit train service!

The KP&W later spots the car at Amalgamated Container Co.

The two errant MEC bulkhead flats are set on a siding for the next WV-2 to pick up and take to Selkirk for forwarding to Mechanicville.

And THAT concludes the involvement of the Kings Port Division in PCCM 108.  Please direct any complaints to the Division Supervisor!   Thanks for following along!
