Some incidents were staged for the film, such as a piece falling off the locomotive, which Davidson later described as "corny".<ref name=Heart>Fuller, volume 2, pages 96β98</ref> However most of the film was simply a record of the work and incidents that took place on the railway at the time, including a dramatic shot of ''Sir Haydn'' derailing due to the poor condition of the track at the time.<ref name=Heart/> The film, which was preserved by the [[Academy Film Archive]] in 2012,<ref>{{cite web|title=Preserved Projects|url=https://www.oscars.org/academy-film-archive/preserved-projects?title=railway+with+a+heart+of+gold&filmmaker=&category=All&collection=All|website=Academy Film Archive|access-date=28 April 2020|archive-date=8 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200808034012/https://www.oscars.org/academy-film-archive/preserved-projects?title=railway+with+a+heart+of+gold&filmmaker=&category=All&collection=All|url-status=live}}</ref> ends with the quote "It is a relic, this railway, a bit of ornamental scrollwork lifted from the pattern of yesterday and kept as a memento."<ref>Fuller, volume 2, page 330</ref>
