40162, Wolverhampton, November 1982

En route from Bushbury to Oxley sidings, 40162 runs light along the Stour Valley line towards Wolverhampton North Junction on 28th November 1982. A blockade was in force at Wolverhampton station necessitating empty stock movements from Oxley sidings to Bushbury entailing reversals at Cannock Road Junction.

 

Just a week later 40162 was reported as stored serviceable at Haymarket but it was condemned on 14/12/82. It remained there until 25/06/85 when it was moved to Millerhill Yard for scrapping. [Ref. Class 40 Motherlist]
