This is a film made by Rowntree’s employee Ken Clough.  The film is of a passenger train arriving and departing from the railway station at the Rowntree Mackintosh factory in York, along with some old photographs of the station.  It was made shortly before its closure in 1988. The film begins showing the Rowntree factory from the railway line at Rowntree Halt station.  A passenger train bound for Doncaster, a 2-car DMU, arrives at the station.  Several passengers get on, and the train leaves in the direction from which it came.  There are then photographs from earlier decades showing trains at the station and many passengers, mainly women, disembarking.  These are followed by more old photographs showing engines and trains on the line, workers clearing snow in the sidings, some old steam shunting engines with their drivers, an engine on the back of a lorry in the factory yard and rails being laid.
