The Pavonia yard's duties during a day are to dispatch 3
trains, do an engine swap, and turn 7 trains (5 of them being when the south
quarter of the yard is functioning as the Millville and Penns Grove terminuses).
In addition, the yard crew is expected to service the local Camden industries
(RCA Victor, Campbell Soup, and the J. B. Van Sciber furniture company) during
its spare time. :-)
With only the Penns Grove local and a Philly transfer left
on the schedule, our faithful Baldwin heads out to serve the local folk. It
grabs a box car of lumber for Van Sciber and a car of cardboard boxes destined
for Campbell Soup.
A quick run-around gets the switcher positioned for its
switching work.
First the lumber to Van Sciber, gently nudging the existing
tank car of wood stain already there.
The Reading box car already at Campbell's is empty and needs
to be picked up.
We will temporarily pull it back and position it out of the
way on the RCA Victor siding (conveniently next to the empty hopper that also
needs to be removed).
Then we place the loaded box car in position to be unloaded.
Finally we retrieve the 2 empties, do another run around and
return them to the yard.
