The train pulls into a station where Hauser directs the Police to arrest Simon Templar. Manuel Gurtner advises that this stock footage, albeit mirrored, featureing a local train of the Italian State Railways (FS), hauled by a 2-8-2 tank loco of FS-class 940, pulling into Toblach/Dobbiaco station on the Puster Valley Railway between Franzensfeste (Fortezza) and Innichen (San Candido), South Tyrol, Italy. The same shot was also used for 'Pimpernel Smith' made during the same year.
