Reading, Blue Mountain, & Northern GP30 2532 leads Railway Restoration Project 113's Santa Train out of Minersville, PA. In the background, the safety valve of Central of New Jersey #113, a 1923 ALCo 0-6-0 (class 6S46, originally B7s), pops off as she drifts.
The big, burly yard goat (the largest 0-6-0 built and surviving) would lead the return trip from Schuylkill Haven--railroad logistics and operating rules required the 'Geep' for the outbound portion of the run, which is idled off for the return.
Not
