58006 draws into the Exchange Sidings at Wednesbury with 6T50 Bescot - Brierley Hill. The van was for Wednesbury, while the seven bogie flats continued to Brierley Hill. This shot was taken at 08:26 on Thursday 26th November 1992, and I believe this van was the last wagon to arrive at Wednesbury Steel Terminal before it closed. My memory is that the signalman wasn't expecting T50 to stop at Wednesbury on this day, and I certainly wasn't expecting a Class 58 because in the sectorisation era it was a very solid Class 47 job.
