Central Railroad of New Jersey 113

Central Railroad of New Jersey 113 is a B-7 class 0-6-0 "Switcher" type steam locomotive built in 1923 by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) for the Central Railroad of New Jersey (CNJ). The locomotive was designed solely for yard service and could only operate at slow speeds due to the locomotive not having any leading or trailing wheels, but only six driving wheels (thus the 0-6-0 wheel arrangement). No. 113 currently performs passenger excursion services and some freight assignments on Reading Blue Mountain & Northern (RBMN) operated tracks. It is owned and operated by the Railway Restoration Project 113 Organization out of Minersville, PA, but during 2025 the locomotive was taken out of service for its annual 1'472 day inspection, which the locomotive is still undergoing currently.
