La Bête Humaine (English: The Human Beast and Judas Was a Woman) is a 1938 French film directed by Jean Renoir, with cinematography by Curt Courant. The picture features Jean Gabin and Simone Simon, and is loosely based on the 1890 novel La Bête humaine by Émile Zola. This is a compilation of the steam engine shots.
La Bête Humaine is partially set on a train that may be thought of as one of the main characters in the film.

Produced the year the French National Railways (SNCF) was formed. Old regional lines such as Paris-Lyons et Midi and in this film L'État were still in operation. Perfect and fascinating glimpse into the historic French system prior to occupation and the removal of most of the track after the war

[@uslines]

Perhaps the most authentic representation of an engineer and fireman ever filmed. The film is magnificent. Gabin my preferred french actor of the 1930's.

[@garryferrington811]

He was France's preferred French actor of the 1930's.

[@bernardpearson5474]

You're joking! That fireman was doing virtually no work, which could have led either to a boiler explosion (lack of attention to the gauge glasses and injectors) or the train stopping due to lack of boiler pressure, because the fireman not firing, he was just lazing about, Very inauthentic.

[@uslines]

Oh please! That segment runs for a relatively few minutes. It wasn't in real time, a voyage between Nice and Paris. The idea was to present the character of engineers and firemen of the time.

[@alext8828]

@@bernardpearson5474 Gabin couldn't even get the locker open. Typical movie bs. I liked him in Pepe le Moko.

[@camil721]

@@bernardpearson5474 Many French Pacifics of that time had an automated loading device, like a big screw which fed the boiler's fire with coal from the bottom of the tender. The device was called ..."stoker". On top of that, this clip is made from segments of the original film, we only see parts of the crew activity.

Even less than 100 years,, we can feel the development of technics throungh the film. I also remember having triip the same type of train when I was little child in South Korea 1960's. Now we have TGV like France... What a wonderful times of life!!!

[@garryferrington811]

What a picture of the French railways! Engines, yards, roundhouse, bridges, tunnels, smoke, steam and speed! All location, all real. Those big Pacifics were beasts. They don't whistle, they shriek.This is the sinews of the industrial age. Nobody else ever captured it like this.

[@benediktmorak4409]

that is what i thought as well. and what a clever idea it was. no need for a stop to get water. suppose that did not work for coal?

[@warrenash5370]

New York Central did the same thing for some of their locomotives.

[@drawingboard82]

@@benediktmorak4409 generally the coal lasted a lot longer than either the water or the crew. Those big engines would take a couple of tons of coal an hour and could hold six or seven tons. More on long tenders. Water was the real issue. This pickup system was relatively widely used. :-)

I travelled that line in the late 1950s on a boat train to Le Havre. I instantly recognised three of the locations with major engineering structures. The tunnel at Rolleboise followed by the long curve towards Bonnières-sur-Seine, the impressive Viaduc de Barentin, and the Viaduc d'Eauplet north of the huge rail yards at Sotteville-lès-Rouen.

This is my second time watching this beautiful steam engine hauling train. Earlier I had offeredy my comment and today on 9th April 2023 I don't see any checking my comment. This shows I am the only one who has love for steam engines. These days Pakistan railway 🚂 had improved the services and thanks to the Chinese and USA governments.lately our folks are enjoying good qualities of service and nowadays more and more rail fanning is on the high. If I am given the choice to ride diesel engine hauled and steam engine, you bet I would prefer steam engine.

[@citrovideorevient130]

Après ce signe, il lui fait signe d’agir sur une commande… de remettre de l’eau du tender dans la chaudière probablement si le signe était de lui filer à boire. Ce qui certes fait encore un peu plus de place dans le tender pour remplir davantage, si le fameux et insolite dispositif le permet.
