Jan is right. I found this film most interesting as it does show a lot of Q
early Zephyrs and some steam - but only real quick shots of the steam.
Like Jan, I too noticed early SW switchers in what appears to be ALL
black?? with white?? BURLINGTON lettering and the BR logo under the cab
window. At first I thought it was just a GM/EMD photo shot at LaGrange, but
then there are some scenes with more than one doing yard work.
Would appear to me to be early paint schemes that lasted just a short time
in actually service.
Anyone adding info would be great.
