Central Railroad of New Jersey 113

113 currently performs passenger excursion services and some freight assignments on Reading Blue Mountain & Northern operated tracks.

[1][5] It was one of five B-7 type switchers built for the Central Railroad of New Jersey, numbers 111–115.

Since these locomotives were designed with a 0-6-0 wheel arrangement, their only effective use was to be operated as switchers since they did not ride smoothly and rarely got past 15 miles per hour.

In 1945, the railroad had changed their class to 6S46 (6-wheeled Switcher, 46,000 pounds tractive effort).

113 was then stored outside at Locust Summit for many years and as a result, suffered a massive amount of deterioration and there were even some trees growing around the locomotive.

The Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Company eventually decided to donate No.

[1] In June 1986, the locomotive was purchased by Robert E. Kimmel Sr. and was later moved to Minersville in February 1991.

[1][3] The total cost to restore the engine was more than $600,000 and had countless hours of volunteer labor.

113 has been hauling excursions across the RBM&NR's lines in cooperation with the railroad.
