Review of 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.

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.
