Seeking "lost" film footage



Dear ListMates,
I have gone through the conventional routes, including NARA, Paramount
Pictures, and Norfolk Southern Corp., in search of movie film footage
featuring African American Wheelrollers from the Norfolk & Western railroad
and now must ask for your assistance.  The Wheelrollers were filmed twice:
once in April 1938 by Fox Movietone News and again in August 1944 by
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Paramount, Fox Movietone News, and Acme Newspictures.
I would appreciate any suggestions or leads.
