A steam train starring in an upcoming Steve McQueen movie was spotted passing through a local station on its way to a filming location.
YouTube channel Henrys Adventures uploaded a video of the 44932 taken from a platform at Kings Langley Station last Monday evening (March 13).
The 44932 was the first of 120 locomotives of its class to be built at Horwich in 1945.

It has now taken a role in Blitz, an upcoming film starring Saoirse Ronan, Harris Dickinson, Erin Kellyman, and Stephen Graham and directed by 12 Years a Slave director Steve McQueen.
The film will be released on Apple TV.

Filming took place at Hull Railway Station, using the train, and further filming appears to be set for heritage station The Bluebell Railway as the locomotive was headed there from Kings Langley on March 13.
The film is also using Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden as a base, according the Film London.
Despite the 44932 being built at the close of the war, Blitz will tell the stories of a group of Londoners as the city was bombed during WWII.
