Alexandre Promio was an agent for Lumiere who was sent around northern Europe. His job was to promote and exhibit the Lumiere films and while he was in exotic locales, make new films. While it might not seem to anyone in Liverpool that the view from the city's elevated train line of its route past the docks of the harbor might seem exotic, that was doubtless because if you lived in Liverpool, you saw it every day. A Frenchman's idea of Liverpool might be a confusion of northern England with the Scotland of the novels of Sir Walter Scott. Here's a chance to indicate that's not the case at all.
Whatever the case, this was part of Promio's job and he did it. In fact, he did it at least three times, because the IMDb lists three variations on the title, and I have now seen two.
One would have been more than enough.
