Talk:Pennsylvania Railroad 460

History
Can anyone identify the two "Two rival newsreel companies" and determine which used the airplane and which used the railroad? Given the year, the likely candidates are Pathé News and Hearst Metrotone News. Paramount News was just starting-up its newsreel operations in 1927. Dick Kimball (talk) 13:59, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I know the one that shipped by train was International Newsreel, which if I understand correctly, was one of the names of Hearst Metrotone. The second, I believe, was Kinogram. ​​​​​​ ​​ Niagara ​​Don't give up the ship 17:09, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

"...it was loaned to the Long Island Rail Road." This seems unlikely, as "loaned" would seem to imply that no money changed hands. Given how expensive and valuable railroad locomotives must have been, "leased" or "rented" seems vastly more likely. Dick Kimball (talk) 14:05, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The direct quote from the source is: "...it was loaned to the PRR's subsidiary Long Island Rail Road." ​​​​​​ ​​ Niagara ​​Don't give up the ship 17:02, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
