Just south of Hemel Hempstead Station a pair of class 25 locomotives hurry a train of Presflo wagons south along the slow lines. Presflo wagons were designed for the movement of cement in its dry powdered form although by the late 1970's they were being used for other traffic such as pulverised fly-ash from power stations. On the hillside across the tracks are some of the outbuildings belonging to the Model Farm located beside Roughdown Road.
