P.C.C.M 59 Chicago, Elkhart and Beyond.

Greetings and welcome to the coast to coast edition of P.C.C.M. 59
We catch our recently departed Penn Central train from Chicago. Racing across the farm country of Indiana. It will make a crew and engine change in Elkhart, Indiana. It will then head to points East, after a couple of stops in West Mill, NY. and Selkirk NY. With a final destination of Terminal Yard, on the N.Y.C.T.L.

 First up on our trio of locomotives, is Penn Central #2010. Our train has the distinction of having all units without turbochargers and working without dynamic brakes. Also all rated at 2000hp.
 

Penn Central #6958 and #6934 are returning to Elkhart, IN. to resume their Hump Yard duties after some maintenance in Chicago
 

P&LE #6549 is returning empty from a delivery in Chicago.
 

Next is a BRMX  reefer being sent from the Denver Union Stockyards to Terminal Warehouse in Empire City. Loaded with fresh beef for the hungry citizens of Empire City.

From the Denargo Produce Market in Denver, this PFE car is loaded with fresh produce for Terminal Warehouse in Empire City. The hungry citizens of Empire City will enjoy their fresh produce items!

This PC covered hopper is loaded with grain from the Denver Cargill facility to connections with the LIRR for delivery to Ronzoni.

This Empire Belt Boxcar is headed to Terminal Warehouse in Empire City. Loaded full of fine candies made by the Brecht Candy Company in Denver, Colorado.

Headed for the Ford Plant in Bedford Park, NY. This Celanese Tank Car is from the plant located in the Globeville section of Denver. Globeville residents are coping with a influx of Hobos right now.
 

A block of cars headed from Chicago to Selkirk. Loaded with goods from Western Producers.

This 40ft Grand Trunk Western is loaded with electric motors from Wazee Electric in Denver, for Peerless Appliances. Wazee electric makes some fine motors. Even does rebuilds on the Denver & Ralston Creek's locomotive traction motors. 

Returning empty from the Denver Union Stockyards, this PC Covered hopper is returning to Cavendish Food and Spirits for some of that tasty cattle pellets made from spent brewing Wort.

Returning empty from the GERN distribution plant in Arvada, CO. This hopper is headed back to the GERN plant in West Mill, NY. 

An interesting situation with the delivery of this load of rolled cardboard from Rockmont Supplies in Denver to Canton Box Company in West Mill, NY. The CN boxcar was sidelined in Chicago for a defective wheel bearing. With some phone calls and the promise of some Cavendish Single Malt, Cappy Foster was able to get the Canton delivery transferred to this NYC double door boxcar.

A couple more cars returning to Selkirk for new assignments and loads to carry.

Bringing up the rear is this classic Ex-Lehigh Valley caboose. Big Mike mourns the loss of another LV caboose. Thanks for reading and stay tuned for the second half of P.C.C.M. 59 next weekend.
