in 'Night Mail' as the train races into the night from Crewe

Ah yes, having changed from a taper-boilered locomotive to a parallel-boilered one, and back, without stopping. And a firehole door is shown left open when the fireman wasn't firing - this was never done. One must beware of accepting films/TV as 'gospel' about anything.

However, once the errors are overlooked, John Grierson's film was a fine one, greatly boosted by Auden's verses.
