CNJ 113: Springtime Along the Schuylkill

On the Saturday before Easter, the Reading Blue Mountain & Northern Railroad kicked off its 2023 steam season with a day of excursions utilizing Central Railroad of New Jersey 0-6-0 number 113. On this day, the 113 would pull its short passenger consist on 3 75-minute excursions between Minersville and Cressona. Additionally, these trips marked the return of Easter trips on the Minersville Branch of the Reading & Northern after quite a few years. On this spring day, 113 sported a Grand Trunk Western 5 Chime owned by one of the Project 113 volunteers. So sit back, relax, and enjoy a lovely day on the Reading & Northern's Minersville Branch with the monstrous 0-6-0.

Great video of CNJ 113. I am going to be at the Nevada Northern Railway Museum tomorrow with Nevada Northern #81 (Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1917).

Those panning shots are awesome Mark! I'm always impressed with your work! If you don't mind me asking, what tripod head do you use to get those smooth pans?
