Thanks to Jamie Evans for linking the 1929 newsreel footage of Lackawanna
4-8-4 Q2 1603. It is a very interesting segment. The footage chronicles a
special demonstration run DL&W staged for the press upon delivery of what
turned out to be twenty Q2s for freight service. Besides the locomotive, I
found the newsreel of special interest since it is filmed along a very busy
section of the Boonton Branch. In the comments section on the Youtube page,
posters seem to agree the footage was shot along the Boonton line between
Clifton and Passaic.

I'm attaching a screencap of the Lackawanna official who hosted the
original March 16, 1929 footage. Anyone know who he is?
