Passenger Train Trilogy The Diesel Locomotive DVD
This fine COMBO DVD contains The Diesel Locomotive: Servicing Santa Fe FT's and the Passenger Train Trilogy.
The Diesel Locomotive: Its Servicing, Maintenance and Repair was produced by the Santa Fe Railroad in the mid-1940s. In a series of visits to various California facilities, the program features the railroad's then-new fleet of Electro-Motive model FT diesels. (For the full story of the FT, see Mark I Video's award-winning documentary FT-103: The Diesel That Revolutionized Railroading in America).
The first stop is a tour of the Barstow shops where the FT's are cleaned and fueled. You'll see an inspection of the prime mover, injectors, electrical equipment, and steam generator, and watch traction motors, carbody air filters, and brake cylinders being maintained.
Next there's an interesting visit to the large Winslow, Arizona shops to observe wheel and truck work, followed by a tour of the massive San Bernadino heavy repair facility to view fascinating scenes of a prime mover being lifted out of its carbody. Main bearing and armature repairs are also shown. The program ends with a number of great FT action scenes.
