Join me again as we catch some recent Penn Central action on the Cincinnati Terminal sub. We recently went back out along the sub and caught the local again out of Riverside yard,
This time we saw PC NW2 8806 doing the honors in place of the regular locomotive GP7 5628 which is offline having its inspection done. When we arrived 8806 was in the locomotive pocket by the small yard office getting their paperwork for the day’s work as seen below.
We followed the crew as they first swapped out gondolas at the scrapyard:
Next, the crew started pulling empties out of the team track, Armitage Furniture, and Stephen’s Grocery Distributor as seen below:
The crew then proceeded to spot their inbound loaded cars including a rare scheme on a 50’PC boxcar that went to the team track dock. The other cars included a UPFE reefer for Stephen’s and an all door Thrall boxcar for Armitage:
Finally, in this segment as the crew on 8806 were about to take a lunch break we watched them spot a 50’ PRR boxcar at the off spot position on the team track:
In part two we’ll cover the local switching out Monsanto…
