The pile of sleepers in the background is the official boundary between Epping to Ongar Railway and London Underground territory, but the halt point is about 200m east. The reason for the boundary is for safety reasons - riding a steam train on electric tracks poses an obvious fire hazard! This shot was taken looking through the cab of the Class 117 diesel railcar, looking south-southwest.
