British Railways Archive Classic Films
Snowdrift At Bleath Gill
VHS Video by NTV Entertainment / British Railways Board. Released in 1993.
Running time approximately 55 minutes.
“This classic collection of British Railways Board archive films captured the nostalgia for the long lost age of British steam, and is a proud and affectionate tribute to the efficiency and a hard labour of the men who worked on the railways.
SNOWDRIFT AT BLEATH GILL (1953)
This classic film documents the efforts of the Stainmore Summit snowplough team to free an engine snowed in at Bleath Gill.
In 40 miles per hour winds, the snowplough team set to work by digging out the engine by hand and thawing it out with burning rags soaked in paraffin. This laborious process takes five days to complete and demonstrates the dedication of the snowplough team.
MEN OF THE FOOTPLATE (1930’s)
This film is dedicated to all those men whose work involves the engine footplate and to those men who train the engine drivers.
It follows the career progression of an engine driver on the LMS – from cleaner to fireman, and from past fireman to fully fledged driver. With practical expensive gained from daily work supported by lessons in theory, the railways employ a rigorous long-term training schedule to ensure that only the best men become LMS engine drivers.
UNDER THE RIVER (1959)
Made in 1959, this film tells the story of how the Great Western Railway tunnelled under the River Severn. The film was shot just before the famous beam engines, used to pump water out of the tunnel, were retired. Their subsequent destruction along with Euston’s Gothic Arch were to spark off public awareness in industrial archaeology.”
