For the annual Railfest event at Steamtown NHS in 2018, a special photo charter event was held, featuring the Delaware-Lackawanna Railroad's Alco RS3 diesel #1554 and two of Steamtown's CNJ coaches. This charter was originally supposed to go a little ways away from Steamtown and the yard limits, mixing in some photo runbys with static shots. However, severe storms swept through the area, causing flash flooding, track and infrastructure damage outside of the park areas, speed restrictions were in effect along the entirety of the Pocono Main, including along the areas of the photo charter - so the trip would be limited in terms of size and scope, and not many video runbys were held. However, there was action both with and around the charter, including a D-L freight passing through and multiple appearances from Steamtown's Scranton Limited train, powered by Baldwin 0-6-0 #26.
