Scenes include engineers oiling three B&M steam locomotives, three steam locomotives driving on parallel tracks through rail yard, and view from another train. Two locomotives pass camera, view of wheels/crank of running locomotive. Scenes of locomotives accelerating/decelerating. An unidentified man speaks about political conditions in Haiti.
