When Dunellen held its annual Railroad Days Festival, the power provided for those excursions from Dunellen west over NJT's Raritan Valley Line was a nice change of pace from the daily lineup one would see along those rails. On September 10, 2000 steam would return to the RVL with NYSW 142 powering the west bound excursion trains. With multiple runs being scheduled that allowed for numerous photo ops along this line.
