No. 13 is seen approaching the Broad Street bridge in Summit, and the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad interchange. The siding seen in the foreground leads to the RV's Summit station, freight house, and team track.

No. 13 approaches, and then crosses, Liberty Ave. in Union. Upon crossing the roadway, the train bisects what appears to be an open field. At the time, this was the Battle Hill Golf Club. This location is now the site of Bed, Bath & Beyond's corporate campus, Autumn Ridge (55+ community), and the Battle Hill housing development.

No. 13, with Caboose No. 102 in tow, has just departed the Lehigh Valley interchange at Roselle Park. The short train is now traversing the RV's short Lehigh Valley Branch, crossing W. Webster Ave.

Either No. 13 or 14 (no number can be discerned) works at Baltusrol. Note the brakeman atop the boxcar relaying hand signals back to the engineer. The siding in the foreground is for Andrew Wilson, Inc., a pesticides dealer. The siding ended at a concrete bumping block alongside the Baltusrol depot. The block still exists today.

This film of No. 14 dates between 1938 and 1941. In October 1938, No. 14 was overhauled at the DL&W shops at Kingsland. The locomotive returned with this appearance, a unique sans-serif lettering on the tender and pinstripes. The first scene shows No. 14 backing up Tin Kettle Hill, note the Buffalo Creek & Gauley coal hopper coupled to the tender. At the switch to the Rahway River Branch (Can Branch) in Kenilworth, the rear cars are cut off. No. 14 then shoves a cut of cars across N. Michigan Ave. Cars set off on the main can be seen in the background. No. 14 continues shoving cars down the branch through a sparsely settled Kenilworth. Note the brakemen standing atop the boxcars. All cars were shoved down the Rahway River Branch, at this time, as all sidings were facing point switches. The final scene shows the RV's yard at Kenilworth

In this snowy scene, No. 14 shoves a cut of cars upgrade through Springfield. The grades on the hill between Springfield and Summit were as high as 5%. Note the brakeman standing atop one of the hoppers.

In the first scene, No. 15 has departed Springfield and is making the quick 1/2 mile dash between the Springfield and Baltusrol depots. In the next scene, showing the train going away, the Baltusrol depot can be seen. A boxcar is spotted on the Andrew Wilson, Inc. siding. The locomotive then rounds the curve and digs in for the climb up the Watchung Mountains.

No. 15 passes the North Jersey Quarry Co. in Springfield. This was earlier the Commonwealth quarry, later owned by Houdaille. Upon passing the camera, the locomotive rounds the curve and crosses the border into Summit.

In these scenes, which appear to be out of sequence, No. 15 is first shown to be departing Aldene and approaching the Westfield Ave. grade crossing. Roofing Sales Corp.'s building can be seen in the background. In the next scene, No. 15 is backing down CNJ's track six in order to reach the RV's own rails seen in the background. The final scene shows No. 15 coming off the CNJ and onto the RV's curve that brought it out of Aldene.
