Greetings!
We're well into our 91st Penn Central Car Movement "virtual ops" series involving John's New York Central Train Layout, Neal's Atlantic Pacific R.R. , and my own Kings Port Division layout.
In the two previous installments my West Mill Yard dispatched two trains to Neal's APRR and gathered cars scheduled to be dispatched to John's N.Y.C.T.L.
We left off yesterday as the FP7/ GP38-2 power for the train carrying cars to the N.Y.C.T.L. had just arrived and coupled to its train.
The train is designated as WmV-5 (West Mill to Selkirk). It will terminate at Selkirk Yard where cars will be humped and regrouped, with some added to a train for John's Terminal Yard.
Watch WmV-5 leave West Mill in the video below:
As the train heads north to Selkirk lets check out what's happening at the Boston & Maine's yard at Mechanicville, NY.....
....where a cut of four TOFCs is being moved for transfer to Selkirk Yard. These cars will be heading to John's Terminal Yard for eventual delivery to REA at Empire City.
Watch the action at Mechanicville as B&M Train BM-7 from East Deerfield rolls through town on its way to Rotterdam Jct. in the background of the video below:
The four TOFCs are put on the next transfer from Mechanicville to Selkirk. Watch the transfer roll out of town while D&H freight B-M3 arrives from Binghamton, NY.
Shifting our attention over to Selkirk....
....The transfer from Mechanicville arrives there later that morning with the TOFCs.
The TOFCs are cut from the transfer. They'll be added to a train to John's Terminal Yard that he will show in his "inbound" posts after WmV-5 arrives from West Mill with the other cars for the N.Y.C.T.L.
Speaking of WmV-5, the train is now arriving at Selkirk in the video below.
That concludes this weekend's outbound posts from the KPD. Check back next week to see inbound trains from the N.Y.C.T.L. and the APRR reach West Mill with cars to be forwarded to their various consignees. Be sure to check John and Neal's blogs to see what they are doing to keep the traffic moving!

The local action around West Mill adds more realism to the session after the scheduled trains have left. Great video of the TOFC train arriving in Selkirk. The hump yard in the background really makes the scene. Onward to our inbound series!
Thanks Rock Ridge!

Acknowledge PC Transfer from Mechanicville arriving at Selkirk.
Acknowledge arrival of PC Train WmV-5 at Selkirk.
A great showcase featuring three important railyards classifying, dispatching and receiving trains. The PCCM traffic definitely has left the building!! An impressive array of scenes, trains and rolling stock at West Mill, Selkirk and Mechanicville conveys the interchange of rail traffic in the Northeast very nicely. Run thru KP&W power on the D&H train was a nice surprise! Likewise the Penn Central FP7-GP38 and GP30-F7B powering WmV-5 and the Mechanicville Transfers. See you on the inbounds!!!
Thanks John! I like the way Selkirk and M-ville are working out so far.
