PCCM 59L Part 1

I'm calling this segment "PCCM 59L" for LF&NW. This is the first installment of my moves.

The other layouts participating in this series are Neal M's Atlantic Pacific RR, PC Ralph's Kings Port Division, John R's New York Central Train Layout, and Brian's Ralston Creek RR.

The car movement form devised by John R has the following coming from my layout, the Los Feliz and North Western, to the Ralston Creek Railroad in the Denver area, and the New York Central Train Layout in Empire City. Here they are:

  • A WP 40’ Bulk Sugar car will go from American Sugar and Refining in Bettaravia, CA to Jolly Rancher candies in Wheat Ridge, CO on the Ralston Creek.
  • A GN 40’ dbl door box 59 American Tool & Die in Woollett to Gates Rubber on the Ralston Creek with replacement tool castings.
  • LF&NW RBL car 160 will move from Zenith Knitting Mills in West Zenith to Moore & CO Exporters Outer Wear on the New York Central.
  • D&H 40’ box 19123 will move from American Tool & Die in Woollett to Reliable Machine Machine castings on the Ralston Creek.
  • A Masonite All door box car will move from the Masonite plant in Ukiah, CA on the Northwestern Pacific via the LF&NW to Neal’s Lumber on the New York Central.

This installment will cover the cars coming from Zenith Knitting Mills and American Tool and Die, which are both covered by a local turn out of Zenith. The makeup of today's train will variously make Big Mike Bednar cringe and smile if he's watching from a spot overlooking Zenith Yard. This is clearly early Conrail. The power is a Penn Central GP7 and a Lehigh Valley RS-2, with a Conrail cabin. But it's taking a NYS&W box up to to Woollett:

The first stop is Zenith Knitting Mills, where the local picks up LF&NW 160:
The crew is going to save time and just tack the car behind the cabin.
Here they're pulling the D&H and GN cars from American Tool and Die:
And, after they leave the NYS&W car in Woollett, they're going to just pull and shove everything back to Zenith in the same order they picked it up:
