The End! 2 July 1967 and 35008 Orient Line makes its way along the side of Nine Elms shed en route for Waterloo where it will haul the first of BR's "Farewell to Southern Steam" trips. Note 34024 Tamar Valley in the background. Along with 35028 Clan Line these were the only active steam presence on shed that morning. Note also the sad state of the shed environs and the steam crane just getting in on the act. photograph by Mike Morant
