The TV Reporter[1] was shown right after Roger Grimsby in the montage.
History[]
The man-on-the-street TV Reporter stood at the corner of Broadway and Chambers Street near 280 Broadway and noted everybody had heard ghost stories around the campfire. He talked about his grandmother, who used to spin yarns about a spectral locomotive that would rocket past the farm where she grew up.
Trivia[]

- The scene at at the corner of Broadway and Chambers Street near 280 Broadway with the TV Reporter was the first thing filmed for the movie.[3]
