Morristown Locos in Hoboken

On my ride home today, I noticed that they had some Morristown and Erie Vintage Cars as wells as one of the E8 like locos sitting in Hoboken. It was quite a nice sight to see. Anyone know why they're there?

They were there for wheel work on the Hoboken wheel machine. The wheel machine in Hoboken can be used to cut wheels on locomotivesm in addition to cars, unlike the one in the MMC which only does cars.
