During the weekend of November 29th and 30th, Blue Comet Productions ventured, once again, into the Anthracite fields of Eastern Pennsylvania to witness two exciting events held in partnership with the Reading, Blue Mountain & Northern Railroad, Project 113, and the towns of Minersville and Pottsville. On the first day, November 29th, Reading & Northern's ex-GM&N 4-6-2 #425 joins ex-Central Railroad of New Jersey 0-6-0 #113 for doubleheaded excursions between Minersville and Cressona, PA. This was a very important day, as it was the first time 113 was fully successful in steaming capability, using an approximate coal mix of 60% Bituminous and 40% Anthracite. On the second day, November 30th, Reading & Northern 425 heads to Pottsville, PA. Until this day, a steam locomotive has not operated in Pottsville since October of 1983, when George Hart operated ex-Canadian Pacific 4-6-0 #972. Now, please enjoy this exciting video brought to you by Blue Comet Productions!
