An organization of people are standing along a railway station in La Ciotat's platform, waiting for a train. One is observed coming, at a certain distance, and stops at that platform. Doors of this open and attendants help passengers away and on. Popular legend has it , if this film was shown, the firstnight crowd fled on the café from terror, fearing being run over by the"coming" train. This legend has been recognized as promotional embellishment, although there is evidence to suggest that people were astonished at the capacities of this Lumières' cinématographe.
