I remember the engine being changed at Rickmansworth when we went on

After the end of steam at Rickmansworth the 75?-year old ashpit burned
on for another ten years, in the same manner as a colliery tip.

Er, but steam continued to run on the Met for another 10 years, until
1971! Just not on passenger services.

And not just on the Met, steam worked over the District as well.
