A class 45 crosses from the slow to the fast lines with a train of refuse containers on route to a midlands landfill site. The crossover used by this train is no longer visible in the aerial photographs and was removed when the line was electrified. Higher speed crossovers between all lines were installed further north a little before Radlett Station. The gas holders in the distance are located beside Station Road and Elstree Station is hidden behind the Allum Lane bridge, visible behind the train.
