Yes indeed, the opening shot is at the 23rd St. roundhouse and coachyard at Denver, with the big Ogle steel coal chute beyond the units and a G-10 0-6-0 between the units and the DZ in the coachyard.  The segments are all out of order, as the first one chronologically is the scene of the train on the big curve just west of Keenesburg.  There appear to have been two cameras filming, as there are two different views on the Keenesburg curve and two of the scene crossing the concrete bridge over US-85 just northeast of Denver and just past Derby on the way into Denver.  The final scene is the train arriving at the 38th St. yard in Denver, with Denver Union Stockyards and the big Swift packing plant in the background.  Lots of very familiar locations to me!

Rupert,

The description of the video states the run-bys shots were listed to be to near Keenesburg, Colorado. It makes me wonder then if the initial shots of the FTs at the terminal was Denver and that is the 1936 version of the DZ to it's right. Hopefully Hol or someone familiar with the area can add more information.

They did a great job cleaning up these old Fox Movietone outtakes.

The FT one is silent. The 9900 one has intermittent sound. You can hear someone say several times when the Zephyr is running on the PRR that they had reached 110 mph.

There are a couple of short videos on YouTube, posted in the last two weeks. The first shows the new FT #100 in January 1944. There are several run-bys, showing an ex-boxcar NE waycar as the first car in the train. I think the number is 14825, built at Havelock in 1943 as a wartime emergency measure.

The second video is of the Zephyr in April 1934 being named at Philadelphia, plus shots from demonstration runs, etc.
