Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Former railway junction. This photograph looking south-east shows the site of Grendon Underwood Junction on the Great Central Railway, see 409021, which when it opened in 1899 was the last main line double track railway to be built. Here the main section of the railway that came from Sheffield and Nottingham in the north, that is behind the camera, split in two.
On the line on the left, which is now a single track but still used by freight trains, the trains ran to Aylesbury and then onto Marylebone in London. However the line had to be shared with the Metropolitan Railway from Quainton Road station onwards, which is 4km further on. In the foreground are a few sleepers and part of a points mechanism, which is all that remains at this point of the alternative route to the London terminus via High Wycombe and which was not shared. Further ahead the track has not been dismantled and the line, though disused, runs south for some distance, see 485497. |
