Vintage railway film - Giants of steam - 1963

In this vintage railway film, produced by British Transport Films in 1963 film, photographs and old prints are used to tell the story of the creation of the railways of Britain, and the heyday of the steam locomotive. Britain invented the steam locomotive, which, for more than a hundred years, was to reign supreme on her railways. Her engineers carved out of the countryside a new iron-age architecture of unparalleled grandeur and audacity. This film seeks to capture the spirit of an era. A tribute to the men who built British Railways.
