Here's a sample checklist I found online: http://capecodrails.railfan.net/92day.html -Eric Date: 12/09/12 07:09 Re: Locomotive maintenance... Author: wmfan3798 Locomotives also have to be inspected and signed off on daily by the first new crew to use it. If low fluids, worn shoes, or anything else in found it is reported and engine service called out.
