Climbing Gresford Bank, 1960
This was - and to a lesser extent with modern trains still is - a significant climb on the way up to Wrexham, rising at 1 in 82 for 3 ½ miles.

Cravens parcels unit M55998, Gresford ? 1967
As part of the programme of building diesel multiple units as part of the modernisation of British Railways, a small number these single cars, specifically for the carriage of parcels traffic, were ordered. This is one of the three ordered from Cravens of Sheffield in 1958 and which ran in service until 1975.

Clun Castle climbing Gresford Bank, 1967
Heading the return working of the 'Zulu' special between London and Birkenhead, run to mark the end of through workings between those two places.
Until a few seconds before this picture, it had been making a steady climb up the gradient, but at this point it seems that the driver suddenly opened the regulator to full port, with almost literally explosive effect. There was a sudden burst of black exhaust, as seen in the view. See also http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6441319 .
