Railway Beside Taylors Lane Power Station
Image: © Martin Addison Taken: 1 Mar 2012
A Semaphore signal and disused telegraph pole stand beside the tracks of the Midland Railway's Acton Wells to Cricklewood line. Behind are the chimneys and oil tanks of Taylors Lane Power Station. The current power station which opened in 1979 on the site of a previous one, is powered by gas-oil. There are sidings beside the tanks for rail deliveries but these are no longer connected to the rail network so presumably delivery of oil is now carried out by road.
