Looks like CNJ 113 will be under steam this year. They got a grant to finish the work.

CNJ 113 was successfully fired up to 100 lbs. pressure today. We raised the pressure very slowly and were happy to reach this milestone. Once up to that pressure we serenaded the neighorhood with whistle and bell "music". The clean burning anthracite was just that, although a little difficult to get used to firing.
There is much more to go to get her completely together and running but she is "alive" again.
