Railway Restoration Project 113 is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the rich history of railroading in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. Their mission is to restore and maintain locomotive CNJ 113, a historic steam engine that was once used for yard service and hauling coal. Through years of dedicated volunteer work and fundraising efforts, the organization has successfully refurbished the locomotive to operating condition, showcasing the craftsmanship and engineering of a bygone era.
Originally built in 1923 by the American Locomotive Company, CNJ 113 played a vital role in the transportation of goods in the region for several decades. After being retired and left to decay, the locomotive was saved from oblivion and brought to Minersville, where it now stands as a testament to the hard work and dedication of the Railway Restoration Project. Visitors can learn about the locomotive's history, view photos and videos of the restoration process, and gain a deeper appreciation for the significance of railroading in Schuylkill County.
