British Railways Standard Class 9F 2-10-0 No 92151 is seen passing under Common Lane bridge on a Type 8 working on 18th July 1965. British Railways's Train Reporting Codes categorised a Type 8 working as a 'through freight train NOT fitted with the automatic brake. Maximum speed 35 mph. Where fitted vehicles are required to be placed next to the engine and coupled up, this will be shewn in the appropriate regional train loading instructions'. Built at Crewe works in October 1957, No 92151 had less than two years in service before being withdrawn in April 1967 from 8H Birkenhead shed to be scrapped by Draper Limited of Hull.
