Title-Nodrog Presents
Title-West Riding Steam.
The film opens with a point of view shot from the front of a car as it drives along a country road. There are several men standing in the grass at the side of the track and taking note of all the trains that pass by.
Many trains pass along the piece of track, including number 3442 and then the scene changes and there are shots of an industrial town and trains pulling into the station near it. There is another sequence of shots taken from a height looking down onto the tracks, where two men with binoculars are train spotting.
There is a shot of a train called `The Great Marquess'.
Many people gather at various stations to watch the steam trains pass by, including `Ian Allan, rail tour' train. The `Clun Castle' is another train that has a large crowd gathered. It has stopped in a train station and the train crew have opened the front and are shovelling the coal out. This train has number 7029 on it and another nearby one has D9020 on the side.
A man some distance away from the camera, climbs over a fence and walks towards the camera. There are more shots with various trains driving along with black smoke billowing out of them.
