25 minutes as seen on YouTube, 26 as reported by IMDB/TMDB. Perhaps the runtime data was added to the database(s) by someone who watched an NTSC conversion? YT stats showed 25 fps, and the runtime difference is exactly explained by calculating the slowdown one might see if watching the same content at 24 fps instead.
In any case, it's an interesting blast from the railway (and film) past. I say it shifted from color to monochrome at just the wrong time—leaving the audience to watch technicians observing colored signals without being able to see the colors ourselves—but I bet the monochrome camera was much more compact than a color one, and might have been chosen so as to interfere as little as possible on the overnight job site. Perhaps the available light also came into play.
