Seen from the bridge carrying Carterhatch Lane. The line leaves the Enfield Town branch north of Edmonton Green and connects to the Liverpool Street to Cambridge mainline at Cheshunt. The line was opened in 1891 by the Great Eastern Railway and was originally known as the Churchbury Loop. Passenger services were short-lived in the early life of the line as the arrival of trams to Waltham Cross took away the trade. It survived as a freight route until the Great Eastern electrification by British Railways in the 1960's when passenger services were restored. Currently the passenger services route from Liverpool Street to Hertford East.
