The Railway Stream
The title comes from a description of this tiny water course on the Middlesex County Council website - http://www.middlesexcountycouncil.org.uk/ - where this tributary of the Silk Stream is mentioned. Looking at the aerial views on Bing maps and past maps of the area on Old-Maps - http://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.html ,I have concluded that this was once a drainage ditch around a field and subsequently a sports ground that has been built upon in recent years. It continues to drain the area along the back gardens of Littlefield Road. It's not obvious in the photo because of the fencing to keep trespassers off the railway line, but there was a steady flow of water exiting the pipe. The passing train is Northern Line 1995 stock.

Northern Line
Seen through the fence just north of Burnt Oak station. Here, the cables go underground for a short distance and an area of matting has been laid to allow maintenance crews and vehicles access to the track as and when necessary.
The train is made up of 1995 stock and is on its way to the terminus at Edgware with Driving Motor 51708 bringing up the rear.
