Electric Railway Museum, Warwickshire. Film The railway is featured in the films Waterfront (1950) and The Magnet (1950), and in the final scenes of The Clouded Yellow (1951), as the character played by Jean Simmons uses it to travel to one of the docks. Extensive archive footage appears in Of Time and the City, a "cinematic autobiographical poem" made by British film-maker Terence Davies to celebrate Liverpool's 2008 reign as Capital of Culture. In 1897, the Lumière brothers filmed Liverpool, including what is believed to be the first tracking shot, taken from the railway. It was also featured on the film A Day In Liverpool by Anson Dyer.
