9F Pounds through Staple Hill, near Bristol

            9F 92150 heads through Staple Hill Station on the Midland mainline from Bristol with 5M25 17.20 St Philips Yard -Water Orton, Birmingham, on 18 September 1964.  This freight turn was one of five northbound freights on this route that were dieselised with Peak haulage from November 1961, but remained largely steam worked until late 1964.  Total freight dieselisation of the route took place on 1 March 1965.  92150 was a frequent visitor to Bristol when allocated to Saltley, but moved north to Wakefield (56A) in October 1966 and was withdrawn from there in April 1967, a month before the shed closed to steam. Drapers scrapyard, Hull, performed the last rites.
