The NYC railroad primarily operated in the Great Lakes and mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. When the railroad was established in 1853, it consolidated several existing railroad companies. In 1968 the company would merge with its former rival, Pennsylvania Railroad to form Penn Central. The film was presented by New York Central as a public service (:20) and produced by the Motion Picture Bureau and Public Relations Department (:31). A 95 Class coal fired locomotive #5420 of the New York Central Line runs down the railway (:43). The engineer eyes the tracks ahead (1:02). A New York Central Hudson runs through snow (1:26).The 20th Century Limited runs by (1:42) and the Empire State Express follows (1:49). The cost of the steam engine is discussed (2:28). The narrator turns to detail the story of the invention of the steam engine. James Watt discovered the power of steam (2:39). The film begins to show a maintenance facility. The boiler is highlighted (2:48). The interior of the box is examined (3:03). The steam reaches the front of the boiler (3:21). Steam and smoke shoot from the smoke stack (3:28). A cutaway model displays the operations of the fundamental parts (3:52). The old whistle is pulled (4:52). Other features of the train include the automatic bell (4:52) the injector (5:16) and a steam driven generator (5:27) which supplies electricity to the lights. The engine man twists the brake handle (5:54). Sand is fed into a compartment on top of the boiler (6:09) for use during snow falls. A small pipe blows sand at the wheel (6:18). The tender carries fuel and water (6:29). Coal is brought forward from the tender (6:48). Firemen regulate the stoker (7:17). Steam pours from a locomotive (7:44). Costs of a sitting steam engine are divulged (7:52). A Hudson 4-6-4 locomotive #5435 arrives at an engine terminal for routine servicing (8:06). The exterior of the train is scrubbed (8:49). A sample of water is pulled and tested from incoming locomotives (9:29). The train moves to the engine house aka roundhouse (10:01). A turntable is constructed in the center (10:05). An inspection report is zoomed in on (10:40). Roundhouse personnel conduct maintenance (10:58). The firebox and smoke house are inspected (11:08).

Detailed reports are sent to test laboratories for study (14:51). The terminal foreman (15:20) looks over a list of scheduled trains (15:21). A large bulletin board dictates the assignment of locomotives for daily work (15:27). Locomotive #5302 moved to the ready track (15:47). The coaling plant follows (16:43). The train’s requirement for water is discussed (17:09). Water is pulled from a long pan between the rails (17:30). Locomotives are lined up at the ready track (17:50). The conductor hangs out the window awaiting the starting signal (18:06). The engine man operates controls (18:44). The train zooms down the tracks passing another running on parallel tracks (19:00). The New York Central logo closes the film (20:03).  The New York Central is where the Hudson locomotive was designed and tested. These 4-6-4 locomotives had greater starting tractive effort and the ability not only of pulling longer trains than their predecessors, but were also capable of maintaining higher speeds. Eventually 275 Hudsons were built for the NYC system including its wholly owned subsidiaries. Only 10 were built by the Lima Locomotive Works. The balance were built by the American Locomotive Company. Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.
