Title:
PRR #987 in yard and CB-21 on main
Description:
It's Friday night and the equipment from train #987 is put away at Pemberton. Minutes later, the operator at Cooper will gives C&E Extra 7268 North (the CB-21 with GP-9 7268) a K card for a Clear-block to State Street in Pavonia. The Pemberton Branch represented the last manual block passenger operations on the PRR proper (the LIRR and PRSL excepted).
