P.C.C.M. 64 Part 2 Elkhart to Chicago

Greetings and Welcome to Part 2 of the P.C.C.M. 64 Series. Here we find a trio of Penn Central locomotives headed west towards Chicago. Much of this train originated in Selkirk, N.Y. With some stops along the way. Let's see what is headed to Chicago and points west.

Leading our trio of Elephant style locomotives is Penn Central GP35 #2277

Running the traditional Pennsy long hood forward is PC #5706. It has been recently released from the paint shop sporting its new PC paint scheme.

Bringing up the rear of our locomotive trio is PC #1878. The former Rio Grande unit sports a new "Black Dip" paint scheme.

From the N.Y.C.T.L. we have a Pennsy boxcar loaded with bulk hardware from American Hardware and Supply. It's headed to Barton Manufacturing in Denver.

First car from the K.P.D., is this Burlington gondola loaded with scrap aluminum for Ball Container in Golden, Colorado. It will become beer and soda cans for recycle minded customers.
