Vintage railway film - Shunter Blacks night off - 1941

This vintage railway film, produced by the Ministry of Information in 1941, documents the daily activities of shunters in railway yards and their importance and contribution to the war effort. In this short film, shunter Black helps avert disaster when a bombing raid hits the yards and causes numerous fires. This film is believed to have been shot at the long gone Southern Railways Feltham marshalling yard. South Western Railway is currently using the site as a depot for 701 class train sets.
