| Details: This photo taken at Ruislip Depot in about 1989 shows a Foden tractor unit of Vic Berry being used to move a withdrawn 1962 stock tube car. The carriage was being taken to Heathrow Fire Station where it was to be used on fire-fighting and evacuation exercises. Vic Berry was based in Leicester and became famous for being the last destination of many BR locos and coaches, the firm being contracted to scrap numerous trains which had asbestos insulation. Note that railway sleepers have been used to provide a hard-standing at rail height, enabling the lorry to align itself with the track. Also visible is Ford Sierra estate car 3642F, used by the Neasden Depot Breakdown Foreman, while tender 2201F was also in attendance. | ||
