92220 1960s Bristol Temple Meads
It would be interesting to have some idea of the date of this imposing view of Evening Star , captured on film at Temple Meads , the engine having being allocated to Cardiff Canton from newly built at Swindon in March of 1960 , and remaining at Canton until early September of 1962 when it spent a couple of months at Bath's Green Park Depot before a final move to Cardiff East Dock until withdrawal in March , 1965 . If this view is earlier than September of 1962 , therefore , the engine is doubtless working a South Wales service , but it could be a September visit to Bristol from its temporary Somerset and Dorset home at Bath , or possibly it shows 92220 working back to Wales from its final home at East Dock in late 1963 or 1964. Despite the layer of grime the fully lined out green livery can be seen , as can the special plaque on the smoke deflector
