BR Class 08 0-6-0 diesel shunter No. 08694 is seen shhunting a short rake of 4-wheel oil tank wagons at the Esso oil sidings at Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury on 18th June 1986. Locally referred to as The Pots this weekday trip working, where loaded tanks were taken to the Depot prior to the empties from a previous trip being taken away on the return working, was understood to have a short life expectancy as the oil Depot was earmarked for closure and the site then being redeveloped.
