The goods yard was at a lower level, the viaduct can just be made out behind the bushes on the left. With just a year left in service, this Collett designed shunting and light freight engine was withdrawn from Southall shed on 31 January 1963 after 30 years. A year later it was sent for scrapping to A King and Sons of Norwich.
