58003 92203 Westbury
When this shot was taken 58003 represented the latest in freight haulage technology for the UK.It was barely 2 years old but within 14 years it was withdrawn from service. The 9F actually only lasted 8 years before going the same way in 1967.Ironically 58003 is now no more being cut -up in 2010 whilst 92203 'Black Prince' is still in regular use on the G&W-Rly at Toddington.Both Classes were victims of managements lack of vision.A typical UK disease. The picture taken at Westbury during the Open-day there for GWR-150.----5 may 1985----
