North of Elstree Station
The Midland mainline makes a gentle curve to the west as it leaves Elstree station. The black smudge in the distance behind the trees in the centre of the picture is smoke from the oil terminal fire at Hemel Hempstead. It can be seen drifting to the west (left in the photo).

North of Elstree
A class 25 brings an engineering train north. New colour light signalling is being installed along the line and presumably the train is being moved in preparation of the weekend's planned work. Meanwhile, the line continues to be controlled by semaphore signals.
Elstree station is behind the bridge in the distance, which carries Allum Lane over the railway. The gas holders are beside Station Road.

London's Waste
A class 45 crosses from the slow to the fast lines with a train of refuse containers on route to a midlands landfill site. The crossover used by this train is no longer visible in the aerial photographs and was removed when the line was electrified. Higher speed crossovers between all lines were installed further north a little before Radlett Station. The gas holders in the distance are located beside Station Road and Elstree Station is hidden behind the Allum Lane bridge, visible behind the train.
