'Oerlikon' electric train at Harrow and Wealdstone, Middlesex
These heavy electric trains, which were in use at this time on the services from Watford Junction to Euston and Broad Street, and also from Broad Street to Richmond, had electrical equipment by the Swiss firm of Oerlikon. They were both reliable and fast, but they caused considerable wear to the tracks, which were shared with London Transport's 'Bakerloo' tube trains. The Oerlikon trains were replaced during 1957-58 with more modern (but much less interesting) stock. These services still continue, nowadays using Class 313 trains.

This is the current northern terminus of Bakerloo services, the train is in the turn back siding between the running lines. The DC electric tracks continue to Watford, now used only by Overground trains, although Bakerloo trains have continued to there in the past.

Harrow & Wealdstone station: view to the northwest
Most of the tracks are electrified on the overhead system at 25 kV, AC 50 cycles, but there are two tracks (and a reversing road) at the extreme left which are electrified at 850V DC. These are used by London Overground trains going through to Watford Junction, and the reversing road by Bakerloo line Underground trains. The eventual plan is for the Bakerloo trains to be re-extended to Watford Junction; however, the future of the Watford - Euston Overground service is less certain, as more space at Euston is required for long distance services; the Watford trains may cease to use Euston and be diverted to Stratford via Primrose Hill.

Harrow & Wealdstone railway station
Opened in 1837 by the London & Birmingham Railway, although the Harrow entrance on the left (not visible) dates from 1875 and the Wealdstone entrance on the right with the clock tower dates from 1912. View north west towards Headstone Lane and Watford Junction. Until 1964 this was the junction for the short Stanmore Village branch - the bay platform was to the right.
