CNJ 113 - Hauling Freight

[@Engineer5344]

awesome video joe, I think it's cool we get to see what yard goats like 113 did back in the days of steam of switching out cars. she sounded great with those loaded hoppers.

[@JPRMT]

Good night!!! Played this through some good speakers and I could FEEL the play in the rods!!!

[@billc226]

Always a delight and the camera placement is getting ever more clever! The whistle is especially haunting.

[@daylightbigboy]

What a cool locomotive! Glad to see the last anthracite burner running again!

[@deaderthandead1182]

No, there’s 425.

[@ShotofWry]

Hey Joe, nice video. I haven't been trackside in years.... so I didn't even know CNJ 113 was under steam again. You must have built quite an archive of steam footage by now. Cheers.

[@ThomasFlansburg]

Even Steam switch engines have character.

[@dennislivesey8282]

Very nice! I cannot believe the amount of waddle 113 has. I am glad I do not have to bail coal into that gaping maw while being thrown this way and that.

[@SteamCrane]

It's great to see all the work rewarded! Nice camera work too!

[@P61guy61]

Great video. Thanks for posting. I really enjoyed seeing it run.

[@FenderFoamer]

Awesome! Best video on the beast yet!!!!

[@RailfanThommy]

Fantastic video!

[@railfan101]

Great video Joseph!

[@balmesh]

Nice one. Interesting location, too.

[@deaderthandead1182]

Love that 425 and 113 run on anthersite. Best way to sh. An engine.

[@brianfalzon6739]

Love to see a BLW 26/CNJ 113 doubleheader pulling freight in the Schuylkill Region and a passenger excursion trip to Philadelphia in the future.

[@PowerTrain611]

They ain't going to Philly lol... top speed for these 0-6-0s is MAYBE 30 MPH and at that speed you'd be scared out of your wits, being thrown around the cab feeling like you're gonna derail! And with no leading or trailing wheels, you just might!

[@brianfalzon6739]

@@PowerTrain611 sorry my mistake

[@trailwayt9HG]

🚂🚞View is Very beautifully and very enjoyfull.. Lovely steam train🚞🚞

[@09JDCTrainMan]

Good to see what an 0-6-0 was built to do, switch cars.

[@TheRBMN]

3:48 I didn't realize we were going that fast!

[@nuthineatholl6434]

Yeah, freight evidently wasn't the *only* thing 116 was hauling!

[@ebtmikado]

Excellent!

[@ronaldsteppe1302]

Where was this leaving from? Great video👍

[@fuscoproductions]

It was a trip from Minersville to Schuylkhill Haven to be on display during the day. The engine switched some freight along the way. At the end of the day, the engine returned to Minersville.

[@buntik1687]

It is a switcher, so moving heavy freight is no problem.

[@brianfalzon6739]

Would be awesome to see 113 and 26 doubleheading a train together someday!

[@mattsmocs3281]

Can happen at railfest 2016 if the negotiations go well.

[@brianfalzon6739]

Matt`s Mocs agree

[@tylerfenderson2500]

No double header but you will see 26 and 113 side by side next year

[@capitollimitedproductions211]

brian falzon Those 2 should triple head with Strasburg Railroad 31.

[@brianfalzon6739]

Or 89

[@DanielChildersVideo]

Great video, great editing, and awesome sound! How did you record the stereo audio on-board?

[@evanf1293]

3:03 wow I thought only nickel plate road 587 and Louisville and Nashville 152 were the only steam locomotives in America I knew with a mouth like opening fire box door well now I know a third one that being cnj 113

[@fuscoproductions]

Some Maine narrow gauge engines also have the same firedoors.

[@evanf1293]

@@fuscoproductions they do wow you learn something new everyday

[@Ian-qs3fz]

some of the shays at cass have them

[@tplow95]

Cass heisler 6 had a firebox door setup like the 113 has at one time, at least when Pentrex visited Cass WV in the early 90s. It may still have it.

[@tooling_engineer]

Hmm, I see the commercial but an error message stops me from seeing the video of CNJ 113.

[@tooling_engineer]

it's working today.

[@deaderthandead1182]

Sometimes 425 pulls freight for the hell of it.

[@GDP999-z1u]

doesn't she have a Pennsy. 3 chime? sorry if im wrong

[@SierraRailway]

+Gross Domestic Plums Actually, its a replica of a CNJ 3-Chime, specially produced just for 113.

[@GDP999-z1u]

SierraRailway oh nice, those whistles do sound very alike

[@tylerfenderson2500]

There were 6 CNJ 3 chime replicas built one for 113 and the others to sell off to benefit 113. 113's current CNJ 3 has been heard on WW&F 10 in the past as well

[@jjsmith406]

Joe, Where can we find out when this locomotive will be used? Thanks, Jeff

[@fuscoproductions]

jjsmith406, The best place to keep an eye out for whether CNJ 113 will be running is on Facebook. The "Fans of the CNJ #113" page is a pretty good resource.

[@MPT_Productions]

Fantastic video! What kind of mount did you use for that opening shot it was a terrific angle!

[@fuscoproductions]

It was a GoPro on a superclamp attached to the baker valve gear frame. Very sturdy!

[@MPT_Productions]

Joseph Fusco looks like a stunning shot!

[@shaneb.2464]

now that's a good old freight train, if only it were longer

[@bigjohnrailproductions8370]

Awesome to see 113 pulling fright. Any idea 113 will pull passenger cars?

[@fuscoproductions]

113 will likely pull a few passenger excursions in the near future, but nothing has been announced yet. Stay tuned on the Fans of the CNJ #113 facebook page and on Reading & Northern's website, www.readingnorthern.com.

[@TheRBMN]

It's not really for me to say, but, if everything goes well, 113 will be hauling passengers solo by the end of the year...

[@givemelikesoneverycomment4469]

Is this a new steamer?

[@JAILRail]

Ooooh that firebox door is so weird.

[@BigUnitBeef]

Coal and sand...!

[@KevinSager541]

Nice!

[@raritanriverrailroadfan4418]

It would be nice to see the 113 back in Jersey where it belongs. Just my opinion but it shouldn't be in Pennsylvania at all.

[@fuscoproductions]

113 spent the latter portion of it's revenue career working at the Locust Summit colliery, not far from its present home in Minersville, PA. The colliery bought 113 because it was able to burn the anthracite coal that they produced. While 113 was built for the Jersey Central, it isn't out of place in Pennsylvania's hard coal region!

[@raritanriverrailroadfan4418]

That makes perfect sense! Although do you think the 113 will ever do an excursion run in NJ someday?

[@fuscoproductions]

At this point in time I highly doubt it... But never say never.
