"Rails into Ghost Town"

"Rails into Ghost Town" being Chib Thorpe's notorious film account of his visit to Woodford Halse from Banbury in the dying days of the Great Central.

A brief glimpse of something before he heads off... what, at 1:16, has left the row of similar shaped things and is flying along on its own to who knows where? What's going on with that?
