When Was the last Steam on the Central RR of NJ

I was wondering if anyone out there could tell me when was the last use of Steam on the CNJ through Long Valley? As a kid in School in Long Valley I thought I saw a steamer around late November or early December 1956. Does anyone know?

I think its on youtube, 774 camelback out of JCT.

Last steam powered freights were in 1953,last regular scheduled passenger trains in 1954,last steam excursion trip using 4-6-0 T-38 #774 was in 1955 from Jersey City over the Wharton & Northern and High Bridge branch.

To those who replied, thank you for the information. What I saw was in the distance and could have been a "smoky" Baby-Faced Baldwin!

If your sighting was about 5 years newer, it could have been the start of the original Black River & Western RR steam operations on the Chester branch of the High Bridge branch of the CNJ.

The original Black River operation began in 1965, to help date things here.

Correct, though I understand that the locomotive was stored for a few years before 1965 on the Chester Branch off of the High Bridge Branch.
