Regarding the CNJ 113 there is a current up to date thread on Trainorders. This is lifted from a post by Mitch Goldman: A crew of 4 was working on her Sunday 6-14-09 and hopes to have the boiler tested by the end of July if all goes as hoped, though she'll still have a ways to go. Hope I'm not violating any rules by my copy and paste. There are some current pictures on the Trainorders forum. Tom P |

I sure hope the inventor of the Blue Tarp is in some sort of Hall of Fame. |

Gentlemen, you would be amazed at the quality of the boiler work that has gone on under that tarp!!! Howard P. Culm Bank, NY |

I couldn't believe the small confined space of the tent DRGW 315 was being restored under. But after seeing this, it makes that tent look like a major repair shop. Great job to all involved with this project, cant wait to see her run! |

Looks 1,000 times better than it did sitting down at Wilmington & Western's Marshallton shops in the early 90's. Will be interesting to see it run. |

#60 is coming along. As a volunteer on the project I can say it seems like the biggest thing holding us back now is railroad politics and volunteer scheduling. The list of things that needs to be done as of 3 weeks ago (we took 2 weeks off the project and I couldn't make it down last week). FRA needs to witness a final hydro of the boiler. They've already seen one and we had a few minor weepers. Those should be fixed now. Superheaters need to be put back in. Smokebox needs to have the smoke deflectors reassembled. A leaf spring needs to be replaced. Locomotive and tender need to be reconnected. Than all that is left if I am not forgetting anything is that a fire needs to be put in the boiler and she is ready to go! Really there isn't much else left to do on #60. If we weren't bogged down by so much railroad politics she would probably have been running months ago. If she were at another railroad who had a higher value on steam operation she could be in running condition in a few days. Adam |

Tom P None that I know of - it's all in the interest of preservation. Here are a few more photos of CNJ #113 under the blue tarp taken on June 14th, 2009 at the former Reading Station in Minersville, PA. A boiler test is planned for mid to late July but as you can see, there's still a bit of work ahead for the group. /Mitch
