Weekend Steam: Fully Fitted Freight, 1957



Filmed in 1957, this industry sponsored film illustrates the efficiency of express freight trains and how they link manufacturers with their customers across Britain. The service featured in this film, the 4.48pm Bristol to Leeds, provides a typical example of merchandise being transported at high speed by British Railways. We also get to learn a little about the men who do the work as well as the goods they handle.

Thank You For The Pick, Merle!
