@webothlovesoup I knew it was some time after - either way, before I was born, but after then. I thought it was after the war - but history was never my best subject.

@arthurvasey I hate to correct you but Pylons were first introduced to Britain in the 1920's, however you are right when you say they have no place in The Railway Children.
-
@cm233lh Also, if you look closely - as the train comes towards Bobbie, as we see it, ELECTRICITY PYLONS can be seen behind the train - the film is set between 1900 and 1905 - electricity pylons weren't even invented until after World War 2.

Nowadays, Health and Safety would mean that the children would be unable to stop the train, causing a terrible accident.
And even if it didn't, the driver would probably think that they were a bunch of chavs trying to steal from the train (it has happened, only the chavs were on quadbikes).
-
Notice how the train has no smoke or steam in the final shot over Bobby's shoulder (3:57 in this clip)? Apparently that's because the shot was filmed in reverse with the train being towed backwards in order to avoid the risk of running down the actress.

'Look at that tree over there... it's moving' (but none of the grass is)... classic film though.

It's on ITV today. Then again looking at the time you posted this you might not be in the UK.
