GB 1960 1hr 30mins 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 cross-London transfer freight on the West London Line. Rory Wilson has identified this location as being east of the former Viaduct Junction, with the train heading north The Ford Anglia has seen better days, the front end of which is resting on an equally demic 1950 Citreon Big Fifteen.
A vintage Oerlikon EMU passes above the ‘Y’ junction of the North London Railway between Leyburn Road and Torbay Street in Camden.
