Rail is a short 13.5 minute documentary film made by Geoffrey Jones for British Transport Films between 1963 and 1967, prompted by the success of Snow. The "pure cinema" film illustrated the transition from steam powered locomotives to diesel and electric traction which was taking place during that period.

Nominated for a BAFTA Film Award for Best Short Film in 1968, it took four years to make, during which time British Railways changed their livery which required Jones to modify his plans for the film on his return from filming Trinidad and Tobago in 1964.

The new Guillemins station in Liège was a huge project undertaken by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, who had already directed construction of stations in Zurich, Lisbon and Lyon. The site presented many challenges. The film follows the project from start to end over a nine-year period. It documents the issues, frictions and tension of the project as well as the pride and enthusiasm of the people involved. The result was a modern cathedral of European high-speed rail. The project was controversial, being criticized as being too grandiose, too expensive to maintain and not well-adapted to the Belgian climate. In the process many old buildings were destroyed and the whole neighborhood was disrupted.

Surfing Soweto raconte l’histoire d’une génération oubliée, celle de Bitch Nigga, Lefa et Mzembe. Ces trois surfeurs de trains de Soweto appartiennent à une génération de jeunes exclus, nés au moment de l’abolition de l’apartheid, dans le déchaînement de promesses qui en a découlé. Pourtant, ces jeunes, dépourvus des connaissances et des ressources nécessaires, n’ont pas bénéficié de ces nouvelles libertés. Surfing Soweto les montre surfant sur le toit des trains, esquivant des câbles électriques qui pourraient leur être fatals, mais aussi dans l’intimité de leur foyer, avec leur famille.

Taken for a Ride begins with interviews on the inefficiencies and congestion on Los Angeles' highways. Next, the film displays a variety of archival footage on streetcar systems around the United States, demonstrating that streetcars were a widespread and efficient means of transportation. The film continues into a description of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy, starting with a history of National City Lines and Pacific City Lines and General Motors' investment in both companies. The film builds the argument that streetcar systems purchased by these companies were deliberately sabotaged through service reductions and fare increases, then replaced with profitable, less convenient, bus systems. Next, the film makes a connection between this conspiracy and the construction of the Interstate Highway System and the suburbanization of America in the face of the Highway revolts in the 1960s and 1970s. The film ends with footage of the reduction of Philadelphia's trolleybus system at the time of filming.

The film follows the preparation behind the service, as well as focusing on one particular journey. The 'star' of the film is the Gresley A4 60017 Silver Fox, although the film makes a point of featuring many railway employees, for example the maintenance men, the driver and fireman and the station master at Waverley Station "who has a very high sense of occasion". The train completes its journey in its timetabled 6hrs 30mins.
