Welcome to Minersville PA - Home to the 0-6-0 CNJ steam locomotive, CNJ 113.
Today we are documenting the fire up of this beautiful steam locomotive by volunteers of Project 113 for the Minersville Day Festival 2024.
CNJ 113 is one of five 0-6-0 B7 switchers to survive the scrappers torch and was restored to operating condition in the late 1990s to present under the CNJ Project 113 Trust.
CNJ 113 was a custom designed steam locomotive built by ALCO in 1923 to be used In the coal fields of Pennsylvania. This larger 0-6-0 was designed to stack and build coal trains in the yards at slow speeds. This locomotive had 46,000lbs of tractive effort along with a wide Wooten Designed firebox to burn lesser desired anthracite coal. Boiler PSI was 200PSI.
Enjoy!
Happy Railroading!
