This film is from the Gordon Riley collection and shows the Guiseley station train tracks being removed and replaced with new gravel, sleepers and tracks. Title-Nodrog Presents Title-Sunday Occupation A group of workmen are carrying out work on a train track with the use of diggers, cranes, flat-bed trucks and machines with flames coming out of them. The voiceover says that the workmen are replacing the train tracks and continues on to describe what they are doing. There is a close up of the sign for Guiseley station, which is on the wall of the signal office. There are more shots of diggers and tipper trucks and some shots taken from a height looking down onto the work site; some locals are watching from a bridge. A metal container has the words `Return to Engineer West Riding District, Hunslet Tip' written on the side. There is a pile of train tracks piled up to one side of the track and on the other track is a train which is taking the old soil away. The voiceover says that the old gravel, sleepers and tracks have been removed and that new gravel will be laid on the site. The sleepers are moved into position by use of the crane and the voiceover says that in previous years it would have taken a lot more men to do this by hand. Next the tracks are laid on top of the sleepers secured. There is a long sequence which shows more tracks being laid and then more flat trains bringing metal sections of track, dragging them along and into place. Then welding is carried out. Title-The End
