ADDITIONAL NOTES.

A slightly unusual visitor to Carlisle Kingmoor Yard is one of the ESSO Oil Co.'s 46 tonne fuel oil tank wagons. ESSO operates a fleet of these vehicles from their Fawley Refinery to serve traction depots around the country. The wagon seen here was one of three destined for Warrington Arpley Fuel Point but had been over carried to Carlisle due to a mishap at Warrington preventing them from being detached from freight 6X65 19.43 Didcot Yard to Mossend Yard.
