The Last Copy Pit Banker,3rd August 1968

8F 48278 passes through Rose Grove Station in a sombre mood with boiler door writing which reads "Last Steam Banker-Copy Pit,3rd Aug. 1968". A sad day indeed,48278 would be the last Copy Pit banker,along with 48491 on this very day. It was scrapped in January 1969
