What are the plans for CNJ #113 this year? I heard rumors that she will be visiting SteamTown later this year for RailFest?

Matthew,

Everyone keeps asking that question and the answer is the same----113 still needs more work (mostly cosmetic), and even though I am very much part of the project, I don't think anything positive is planned yet.  I would like to see something and see what it can do.  113 is a very powerful locomotive, but like all switchers won't go very fast.  When I have some news it should be posted.  We don't announce any test runs because they can be cancelled the last minute by technical problems or the R & N.  It was really great seeing it on the branch line---Youtube-CNJ 113 Maiden Voyage, CNJ 113 First Test Run.
