47131 approaches Oxford North Junction on 12 February 1985 with the 6M46 05:00 Northfleet to Greaves Sidings cement tanks. Unsurprisingly in view of the weather, this was running an hour late. Two years after this picture was taken 47131 was involved in a accident at Dorrington, that led to its condemnation. Whilst working the 6M27 Waterston to Albion oil tanks, it ran through catch points, and fell down the embankment onto its side, sustaining considerable damage. It was cut up by Vic Berry's, at Leicester in 1988. |
