At 1;07, an American Locomotive Co. ALCO PA is shown. The original Alco PA (the P stood for Passenger and A referred to the unit having a cab) was built right after World War II in 1946 and was rated at 2,000 horsepower (later upgraded models were carried 2,250 horsepower). At 1:22 a diagram shows how a diesel operates. At 3:13, EMD F3 locomotives are shown. EMD F3 was one of the most successful cab units the builder ever produced with upwards of 2,000 A and B units constructed by the time production had ended. The locomotive could be found in use on virtually all of the major railroads at the time and helped extinguished the use of steam in standard freight service. At 3:24 a hostler is shown checking the sand box and refilling it. At 4:14, the running gear is cleaned while at 4:24 the fuel tank is filled with diesel. At 5:10 the water tank is refilled by a shirtless railroader. At 5:45 the locomotive goes through a pressure washer and then a crew of workmen scrub the unit. At 7:15 the locomotive backs into the shops for further work. At 8:05 the engineer enters the cab and sits on the right side of the locomotive. At 8:20 the engineer begins operating the engine. At 9:18 a brakeman directs the engineer into position to couple with the train.
