P.C.C.M. 51B part 3: The KP&W wraps it up again.

Hey folks,

The only cars remaining to be delivered to consignees right now are four for ACME Auto Parts near the Kings Port & Western's Mayfield Yard.

 KP&W F7As #175 and 110 approach West Mill with a caboose hop from Williams Yard.   These units will be going to Mayfield Yard as support power.  They'll hook up with The Mayfield Transfer run out of West Mill...

 ...lashing up with the F7A and GP9 that came in the other day.

As the four KP&W locos couple up and position themselves to head to Mayfield Yard...



...the switcher pulls the cars for the transfer run.  

Cars for ACME Auto Pats include the venerable Pacemaker loaded with steel wool for muffler mesh and three 60 foot empty auto parts cars.   Two can be seen behind the old special NYC boxcar.

The third 60 footer is also an NYC unit, followed by some LV cars that convey the KP&W's connection with the Lehigh Valley at Mayfield.

The switcher pulls the cut out of the yard., passing in front of the caboose brought by the F7As.

Now rolling behind the caboose, the switcher shoves the cut onto the main where it will be coupled to the KP&W quartet ready to take the Mayfield Branch.

The caboose is tacked on back to complete the train.

Running as Extra #175 the train slowly heads out and takes the Mayfield Branch.

The train arrives at Mayfield Yard later that afternoon.

Some loaded coal hoppers that will work their way down to West Mill's carfloat are seen in the foreground.

The next morning the first train out of Mayfield is this local setting the four cars out at ACME Auto Parts.

These empty 60 footers will be loaded for Ford but ACME is also known to do business with Plymouth and is a chief supplier of parts for the Roadrunner!

That concludes the Kings Port Division's part in P.C.C.M. #51.  Thanks for following along!
