Well, for those of you who are uninitiated, a toilet is a device that assists humans in disposing of wastes. It's usually oval shaped, about 18" tall (that's .4572m for those of you that use that Umperial Meter system), and is made of ceramic, plastic, or stainless steel. It can be hooked into permanent plumbing, or for temporary waste storage, made to connect to a gravity fed box. The later is pretty much the case for locomotives, but with the assistance of a hand operated pump that feeds water into the waste repository bowl and assists in it's removal (we call that "flushing"). The waste is them removed from the temporary storage area by an external device called a "Honey Wagon" (VRC stock #5150), which is then emptied into the nearest sewer drain.

Using is pretty straight forward. For locomotives, which are usually moving, it would probably be best to utilize the flip-up seat and sit down on the bowl, rather than taking a chance on getting urine (that's pee) on your forehead. Once your trousers have been removed and you have a good seal, let it go. After you are done, use the provided tissue (if none, you have a hard decision to make), clean yourself up, regain your trousers, and go about your business.

Got all that, or shall I provide diagrams and charts?

On a serious note though, I really look forward to firing up that sweet GP40-2
