Aggregates Through Elstree
Freightliner Class 66 (66613) brings a train of empty aggregates hoppers up the climb into Elstree & Borehamwood station. Assuming it's running to time, I believe this train is the 6M54 from Thorney Mill to Bardon Hill Quarry.

Borehamwood: Gasometers
Much of the area to the south of the railway station has been redeveloped for housing in recent years and the gasworks site seems destined to follow. The larger gas holder in the distance has a diameter of about 30 metres, while the nearer one is smaller with a diameter of about 20 metres. The road is, unsurprisingly, Station Road.

Approaching Elstree & Boreham Wood
Bracketed by semaphore signals, a class 45 diesel locomotive approaches the station at speed with a fast passenger service from St. Pancras. It has just exited the tunnels that carry the line under Deacons Hill and Scratchwood. The semaphore signals are in their last months of service (in 1979) as they are to be replaced with colour light signalling - one of which is visible with the white X denoting that it is not in use. John Webb informs me that the buildings at the top of the embankment on the left belonged to the Fire Research Station. The site now has houses on it.

This image was taken on a bright and sunny early November day. At this time of year, the sun is low in the sky therefore shadows were long.

The Station Forecourt
Elstree and Borehamwood Station, in spite of having a very long name, is rather a dull building so here is a view the other way featuring some colourful bus stops.

Elstree & Borehamwood station
Elstree & Borehamwood station was opened by the Midland Railway in 1868 on its extension to St. Pancras when it was called simply Elstree. In 1869 it was renamed Elstree & Boreham Wood but in 1904 went back to Elstree. The station was renamed Elstree & Borehamwood again in 1953 but reverted to Elstree yet again in 1974. Finally it reverted to Elstree & Borehamwood in 1988. The station was modernised in 1959.
This view looks northwards along the down slow line. The two fast lines are to the left beyond the railings.
