Description

BR Standard Class 9F No. 92220 (built 1960, with 82F Bath Green Park shedplate); named Evening Star – the last steam locomotive built by BR workshops and, consequently, always destined to be preserved – takes a Down passenger service towards Wincanton in 1962-3. It’s believed that the location is near Verrington – note the Distant signal wire to the left of the track.

92220 is shown as allocated to Bath Green Park from July/August 1962 until the following September/October and again from July/August 1963 until the following October.
