Metropolitan Line railway at Croxley Green
This is a repeat view of Image, this time with the remnants of the snow of 2 February 2009 still lying on the trackbed and on the sheltered cutting slope to the left. On the right the snow on the cutting bank has already melted in the sunshine.

Metropolitan Line railway at Croxley Green
Viewed from the Harvey Road bridge, and picked up against the snow of 2 February 2009, the dead straight trackwork here ends in the left bend that leads to Croxley station. The line here runs in a cutting between Gonville Avenue to the left and Frankland Road to the right.
The photograph illustrates the way in which electrical power is provided to the trains. The outer and central rails are both non-running, where the former is energised at +420 volts DC, and the latter at -210 volts DC, which combine to provide a traction voltage of 630 volts DC.

Former Harvey Road School, Croxley Green
Taken in July 1997, this photo shows the former primary school in Harvey Road WD3 3BN which opened in 1939. Shortly after this photo was taken, the wooden building was demolished with the replacement building being opened in September 1997 for children from reception class to year 6. A playing field now occupies the site of the former school with the present school being on the former playing field.

Metropolitan Line railway between Watford and Moor Park
This was an attempt, following the heavy snowfall of 2 February 2009, to replicate Image taken over three years previously. Fortunately a northbound train heading for Watford duly obliged. This is the eastern side of the so-called Croxley Triangle.

Metropolitan Line railway between Watford and Moor Park
A northbound Metropolitan Line train approaches Croxley station on the Watford branch from the Moor Park direction (and for those who collect such things, no, I did not get its number!). This is one side of the "Croxley Triangle", and the image was taken from the overbridge by the signal box.
