Jersey Central Lines 113: Easter in Coal Country

On April 8th, 2023, we headed to Reading & Northern to chase CNJ 113 as she pulls the first Easter Excursions from Minersville since 2017. Join us as we catch the large 0-6-0 wobble her way down the Minersville Branch of the Road of Anthracite. Don't forget to Like, Share, and Subscribe if you enjoyed this video.

Great catches and cool video

Extraordinary video friend 😊

[@ITrooper089Productions]

Thank you!

That GTW 5 Chime sounded like a D&RGW 5 Chime on 113, and it also sounds like CP 1293 and a D&RGW K-36!

[@zphotography7305]

Awesome video man! Nice running into you as well.

[@ITrooper089Productions]

Thanks! Same here!

[@PANortheasternRailfan]

Nice video! It was cool to run into at the end of the chase there at Minersville; you got pretty lucky on catching that West Cressona shot since that was the only run she made it that far!

[@ITrooper089Productions]

Yeah, was a shame we couldn't get her in Haven though. But I'm happy with what I got

[@PANortheasternRailfan]

@@ITrooper089Productions yeah I was actually waiting in Haven the first run; luckily heard she was not gonna make it in time to jump further up the line. Still was good to see it!

The trips were listed at about 15 minutes shorter in length that’s why it only went as far as it did. Also have to laugh at first clip cuz it wouldn’t be a minersville run day without having to clean out cylinder cocks. That was myself and John doing that.

Do you love the 113?

[@ITrooper089Productions]

She's a nice locomotive
