Here is another interesting find from the Fox Movietone newsreel outtakes collection--Baldwin-built 4-8-2 Mountain-class steam locomotives, destined for Chile State Railways, being loaded on a freighter. In 1929, the railway placed a large order for locomotives and coaches, and in November they were loaded onto the MS Belpareil for shipment to Chile. The location where they are being loaded is Eddystone, Pennsylvania, at the Baldwin Locomotive Works, where the locomotives were built.
Fox Movietone's cameramen filmed the whole careful process of loading a locomotive, and I have not tried to edit or shorten it. You also hear, on the soundtrack, the dockworkers talking to each other throughout. Toward the end, you will also hear three takes of a scripted interview describing the ship and its cargo.
The Belpareil and its sister ship, the MS Beljeanne, were built in 1926 by Armstrong-Whitworth of Newcastle, England for Christen Smith Shipping of Oslo, Norway. They were purpose-built for carrying locomotives and rolling stock.
