The majority of trains in the 1940s were pulled by steam locomotives (some diesel locomotives had been introduced in the 1930s but they were not common on the mainlines). These were usually fueled with either coal or fuel oil. There were a few railroads using electric locomotives on specific sections of track (e.g. the Great Northern Railway over the Cascade Range in Washington state).
