Storyline
As the Allied forces approach Paris in August 1944, German Colonel Von Waldheim is desperate to take all of France's greatest paintings to Germany. He manages to secure a train to transport the valuable art works even as the chaos of retreat descends upon them. The French resistance however wants to stop them from stealing their national treasures but have received orders from London that they are not to be destroyed. The station master, Labiche, is tasked with scheduling the train and making it all happen smoothly but he is also part of a dwindling group of resistance fighters tasked with preventing the theft. He and others stage an elaborate ruse to keep the train from ever leaving French territory. Written by garykmcd

Trivia
The primary steam locomotives in the film are Class 230Bs, #739 (leads the military train Paris to Vaires), 517 (art train until Rive-Reine crash), 855 (rear engine in Rive-Reine crash), and 711 (art train post-crash). These engines were built from 1901 to 1912, and were nearing the end of their long service life in 1964. See more »Goofs
Factual errors: The cab of a moving steam locomotive is noisy even when there aren't air raid sirens sounding. Papa Boule should never have been able to hear Labiche shouting at him from 50 feet away. See more »
