Extra 2212 Kings Port to Mayfield

[Ralph]

Another train on my ops schedule. Extra 2212 runs from Kings Port to Mayfield Yard (a hidden staging track) on the branch line that splits off the main at West Mill.

The action starts at the locomotive yard in Kings Port. GP30 #2212 gets the call. Still in its Pennsy livery, and looking pretty darn sharp after a wash, 2212 rolls out of the engine facilities toward the waiting cars at the entrance to Williams Yard.


KP STEEL is visible in the background as 2212 runs in reverse.


Stopping at the tower, #2212 gets its paperwork including this Form 19...



After a little confab at the tower, 2212 continues on its way...


...passes a maintenance shed made from a salvaged passenger car...


...and some other Penn Central power idling in "the pocket".


#2212 takes the turnout to the right and we get our first view of the waiting cars that will soon comprise the Extra run.


That's it for now. More to come!
