- Summary
- Pathe synopsis: Some people heave snow about out of sheer exuberance - some, like these railway workers, because the job’s just got to be done. Teeth-chattering work it is, but they keep the trains flashing past. But why should we freeze when those flashing lights are only there to lead us back to the warmth and gaiety of that make-believe winter cabaret.
