Industry sponsored film 1957 20 mins

Overview

This film shows how an express freight train links manufacturers with their customers at the other end of Britain. The fast-moving fully-fitted freight train, the 4.48pm Bristol to Leeds provides a typical example of merchandise being transported at high speed by British Railways. We learn something, too, about the men who do the work as well as the goods they handle.
