CNJ 113 and R&N 425 at Schuylkill Haven Borough Days 2013 (in HD)

On Saturday, September 28, 2013, the town of Schuylkill Haven, PA, celebrated their 25th annual Borough Days event - one of the biggest highlights of the day was the train excursions pulled through town. While the past few years had excursions pulled exclusively by diesels, this year, Reading & Northern 4-6-2 #425 joined the festivities to help pull excursions from Schuylkill Haven, PA to Port Clinton, PA and return.
Another late surprise to the party was the appearance of CNJ 0-6-0 #113 - the first time the engine has left the Minersville, PA area since it was brought into the town in the 80's. She performed marvelously on her first extended trip - and hopefully we will see more of her out and about in the future!
(EDIT: My apologies to everyone, I spelled "Schuylkill" wrong in the town name in the video - I didn't realize I spelled it wrong until after I posted the video. For everyone in the borough of Schuylkill Haven, please accept my apologies)

    Boy 113 bounces down the track like nobody's business! And 425 looks great as usual. She reminded me of 1218 when she got moving. Great video.

    That hooter whistle on 425 must be from an N&W A. They had one on C&O 614 for one of the Port Jervis trips back in the 90s when O.Winston Link rode the train.

    no, twice, first they had a N&W Hooter on it, then a NYC 5 chime, and then before it left to go back to Port Clinton, they had some 1 chime whistle on her, very high pitched i might add

    Not the doubleheader or 113. but in terms of 425's part in the doubleheader. The 113 is beautiful and sounds it as well. And that's one rare doubleheader.

    425 doesn't have 1218's whistle specifically. It's most likely a replica whistle.

    wrong, in the double header, 113 was really doing all the work, even though 425 was technically the lead engine.

    Was it an N&W hooter or was the Reading hooter that they used to put on 2102 sometimes? It's been so long I don't remember what the Reading hooter sounded like.
