by Schuylkill Valley
This year for the Schuylkill Haven Borough Day they celebrated their 25Th. year and to mark this historical event Reading and Northern 425 and for the first time in over 50 years CNJ 113 was under steam on a main line .
The first call of order was a full blown ,full power double header of 113 and 425 pulling one coal car and Nine coaches and one Diesel on the rear.
CNJ 113 took charge of the double header pulling the whole train , It was told to me by Robert Kimmel, JR. that Shane Fredrickson radio his Brother Chad in the 425 and said to put the throttle into notch 5 and leave 113 do all the work.
Here is a video from my friend James Kaufman, Jr. The video runs a complete 32:13
The video has 113 and one trip of 425 down to Kernsville Damn , with 425 working hard North to Schuylkill Haven.
So hope you enjoy,
Len.
