This link was originally posted on the Yahoo RGS group but I thought it was so unusual to see film of the Goose in black that some might not have seen it. The images of RGS Goose #3 (no Pierce Arrow frog eye fenders and ladder vs. hand grabs on freight body) appear starting at about 45 seconds into the newsreel. The station stop where passengers are unloaded is Dolores, CO. The announcer's suggestion that Mr. Miller (RGS receiver) would become a millionaire with the Geese operation didn’t quite pan out...
