Hamster

Corrected entry: At the start of the film, as the train is going along the tracks, smoke billows out of the front of the train in every shot, except one side shot, where no smoke is apparent. (00:05:35)

Hamster

Correction: The film is showing a long journey crammed into a few seconds. As an amateur steam locomotive driver, I can say that it is perfectly normal for the chimney to be perfectly clear for part of a journey whilst steam and/or smoke are billowing out of it on other parts of the journey. It depends on the actions of the driver and fireman, and the atmospheric conditions. The shot referred to is obvious as it is sandwiched between two shots in which the loco is billowing white steam, but that doesn't make it wrong.
