The last GWR 43XX 2-6-0 to be built, No 9319 , later No 7341, takes water from Goring troughs with a down train of milk empties on June 24, 1933.

Details of the train are interesting, depending on the date in 1933 the GWR had built 18 - 20 6 wheel milk tanks, so about half of the stock is in the train. Although some may be LMS/LNER/SR, it is impossible to see. No.2 is CWS, so at this date must be from 2071-3. Two are certainly UD, so are 2011/12 or 2504 - 9. The only other candidate is West Park Dairies, 2019 -23, 2510/11. I think the last but one vehicle (in front of another tank) may be a milk traffic brake van.
