His focus was operations along the C&O Railway.

The St. Albans locomotive service area is shown, along with a couple of passing freight trains. Film also includes short scenes of the Chessie Steam Special passing through Charleston and Montgomery, WV. Views of the Charleston C&O passenger station are included. A young Douglas Andre appears throughout this unedited home movie.
