Hello Tommy,

Like you, I'd like to put a name to that gentleman, who is undoubtedly a
DL&W management employee. Attached is a photo of similar vintage showing
some of the team responsible for the electrification project. All are
unidentified, but were associated with the Lackawanna or the firm of
Jackson & Moreland, who served as consultants. The gentleman kneeling at
the far left bears some resemblance to the fellow in the newsreel.

Perhaps we can kill two birds with one stone.

Mark Schmitt
