New content for your Wednesday morning: As part of our continuing coverage of Steam in the Spring 2017, we take you north to Minersville, Pennsylvania to witness the only operating anthracite burning steam locomotive: CNJ #113. CNJ #113 has been pulling passenger trains along the Reading & Northern for the past few years now mostly during the Christmas season and Easter weekends. Thanks to the donation of a fan of the #113, she is now wearing the authentic headlight of her sister #115.
In this video you will see cab shots, and trackside scenes as CNJ #113, disguised now as CNJ #115, stomps along the Reading & Northern's tracks between Schuylkill Haven and Minersville, Pennsylvania.
I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more content through the year.
For more information on the 113 visit: [www.rrproject113.org]
And some pictures to enjoy:
A view from the passenger platform at the Schuylkill Haven station, as CNJ #115 burns by at a breezy 50 mph...er I mean 20 mph.
