Dir: John Guillermin
Starring: Richard Todd and Peter Sellers

A travelling salesman seeks his stolen car and the gangland boss responsible

This thriller features a couple of quite rare shots in the form of a transfer freight heading along the West London Line behind an ex-SR W Class 2-6-4T, and an Oerlikon EMU passing on a viaduct in Camden.

This is the very opening scene in the film, and we get a glimpse of an ex-SR W Class 2-6-4T on a freight. Given the type of locomotive and its associated sphere of operation this is probably a cross-London transfer freight on the West London Line but it may be somewhere else.
A vintage Oerlikon EMU passes above the ‘Y’ junction of the North London Railway between Leyburn Road and Torbay Street in Camden.
