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.

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.
