This film was made by railway enthusiast and filmmaker Frank Dean. Frank trained as an engineer during the Second World War, using his welding skills doing work for the War. But coming from a railway family -- his foster father worked on the railway and uncles were plate layers -- Frank got a job on the railway as soon as he could, in 1949. Church Fenton at that time was a major interchange of branch lines, and British Railways -- as it became with nationalisation in 1948 -- employed many in the village. He started out as an Assistant Lineman before eventually being head hunted by the Signal Engineering Department in the North East.
