Oxley - 8F on freight - a photo on Flickriver

            8F 48728 makes its way up the main line from Wolverhampton to Shrewsbury and Chester on a freight on the official last day of steam in the area, Saturday March 4, 1967.  According to my notes the train was the 9.15 Bescot to Shrewsbury, but I am not quite sure how I knew that.
