The Railway Children
The railway, the children... and the wonderful secret they'll share with you!
Directed by Lionel Jeffries
Produced by EMI Films
A tender, nostalgic family drama set in rural Yorkshire where children discover adventure and meaning along the railway while navigating their father's mysterious absence.
At the dawn of the 20th century, following their father's arrest on suspicion of betraying state secrets, the three Waterbury children—Bobbie, Phyllis and Peter—move with their mother to Yorkshire, where they find themselves involved in unexpected dramas along the railway by their new home.
