In the last installment, cars from John's New York Central Train Layout arrived as two extra trains dispatched from Selkirk. Now cars from Neal's Atlantic Pacific R.R. and Brian's Ralston Creek R.R. arrive at West Mill.
Cars sent by Neal that left Weehawken on WV-1 to Selkirk include these two 86 foot auto parts cars from Rock Ridge Yard heading for the Ford Plant on John's layout. The Kings Port Railfan Society in their well known blue VW bug was late to the party as usual and only caught the tail end of WV-1 as it was pulling out of West Mill.
Had the KPRS managed to arrive earlier they could have photo documented WV-1 setting out these five KP&W cars at West Mill Yard. These cars will be interchanged with the KP&W here for delivery to Zenith TV...
...ACME Auto Parts...
...and Peerless Appliance
The cut from Rock Ridge Yard set out, West Mill awaits the arrival of Southbound VW-2 from Selkirk that will be setting out cars from Brian's layout.
VW-2 can be seen rolling through Kings Port on its way to West Mil in the video below. The first five cars on this train will be set out at West Mill
VW-2 arrives at West Mill. The cut from from Elkhart (forwarded from Colorado and eventually arriving at Selkirk) is separated from the rest of the train.
The FP7-F7B-FP7 consist pulls the cut ahead..
..and backs it into the string of cars left earlier by WV-1
...briefly separated visually by the Yard Tower.
The set outs from Neal's and Brian's layouts are coupled together.
Returning to its train, the PC Power couples up and pulls VW-2 out of West Mill for Weehawken.
After the dust settles West Mill's SD9 yard switcher #6925 pulls the cars into the yard tracks for sorting into trains to be dispatched as KP&W locals and PC yard jobs.
The cut from Brian's layout is shown below.
Followed by the all-orange KP&W cut sent from Neal's Rock Ridge Yard.
That's it for now but keep an eye here and also on:

Nice job Ralph!! Once again West Mill shows it's the rail hub of the virtual ops with trains from north and south bringing in plenty of virtual ops cars. The FP7-F7B-FP7 is a favorite lashup! SD9 #6925 has its work cut out for it.

Rock Ridge Yard Out!
Lots of freight arriving at West Mill and heading to Selkirk. I guess the KPRS guys were sleeping at the wheel and missed all the action! I like the SD9 and the orange KP&W cars together, creates a nice movement.
