Steam & Excursion > CNJ 113 Chris Bost Fundraiser ExcursionDate: 06/22/21 08:48 CNJ 113 Chris Bost Fundraiser Excursion Author: tehachapi-dave This past Saturday CNJ 0-6-0 #113 headed up a round-trip excursion from her home in Minersville, PA to Port Clinton and return on the Reading and Northern. The trip was operated as a fundraiser for R&N engineer Chris Bost, a regular engineer for 113 trips in years past. Chris is battling CIPD a rare neurological disorder. The trip was a big success and sold-out. This was also the first time the 113 has faced south for a trip, creating some new vantage points. Captions on photos below

Something not often see in this day and age.
5: 113 roars north under the former PRR Schuylkill Branch near Auburn, PA 6: The sunshine has turned to a downpour as the train approaches Becks. Thanks for looking!

I would love a photo charter in Port Clinton Yard with 113 switching cars around. Date: 06/22/21 12:10 Re: CNJ 113 Chris Bost Fundraiser Excursion Author: co614 Glad it went well and was sold out. Anyone know how much money it raised to help Chris fight his disease?
