Peter Kerslake says "Oxley's 9317 drops down through Corn Wood, on Hemerdon bank with a down freight. The brakes on the wagons will have been pinned down at the top of the bank, with its fearsome 1 in 42 grade so it is taking it easy, in contrast to the down expresses which came down here at a speed usually rendering it impossible for me to capture them on film."
Mogul No 9317 would be re-numbered 7339 just five months later.
