STEAM LOCOMOTIVE

"Steam Locomotive follows the FREIGHT YARD (class 385) as the second in a series designed to show 'behind the scenes' activities of modern railroading." "The modern type locomotive is the chief subject of the film, and its construction, operation, maintenance and capabilities are clearly explained. The action of the automatic stoker, air brakes, water scoop and other mechanisms is shown in detail, and an animated sequence explains the principle of steam production and the manner in which the steam moves the engine." "Impressive scenes showing magnificent trains in action precede the scenes that depict service and repair in the roundhouse. Exceptional shots from the cab of the locomotive and from moving trains adjacent to the engine conclude this film." Movie makers
