Our trip on the tornado 60163 steam train.25th July 2009. The newest train on the tracks.
always love this rendition of the Night train, so when i was editing the bits of video for this film, I knew at once what to do with all the long running track scenes. Apparently written for a documentary "Night Mail" (1936), John Grierson narrates the opening scene with WH Auden's poem of the same name, "Night Mail." Auden wrote the poem specifically for the film. well that what Google says.
Night Mail! Excellent, well done :-)
