Aside from wondering what that was on the other train at 0:24, I got a terrible headache from all the teleporting that train did.  When the folks at British Pathe did the cut (presumably for a newsreel) they didn't pay careful attention to continuity.  I was having fun about to dive under Rt. 46 into the tunnel and suddenly ... somewhere else! 

About like those scenes when you see someone walking into a familiar college building and ... the inside is completely different!  Where's the aspirin bottle?

 

By the way, I'm still waiting for someone to provide a picture, or at least a source for one, of the side-door compartment stock that was used on the Fall River Boat Train.  I do recall having seen a (somewhat blurred) shot of the train when I was young, but can"t for the life of me remember well enough to find it again.
