What you see here is a "sneak peek" of Black River and Western's 2-8-0 backdated to her former glory days at the Great Western for an upcoming Lerro Productions charter. The engine received a coat of aluminum paint on the smoke box, white running boards, new logos and painted tires. She'll make her public debut (though with BR&W lettering) on May 26th and 27th.
Serving small industries in Hunterdon County for 50 years, the Black River and Western serves as an active line and a window to the past of New Jersey with rural farms and small creeks.
