Summary
edit
| Description |
English: Railway line to Quainton Road Station 1. This railway line was once part of the Great Central Railway, which when it opened in 1899 was the last main line twin track railway to be built. The line ran between Sheffield, Nottingham and London Marylebone, see http://www.railwayarchive.org.uk/index.php. Much of the line was closed in 1966, but this single track stretch between Claydon Junction about 6km away behind the camera, and Quainton Road station about 1km ahead, remains. It is used by four freight trains a day from Brentford in London carrying containerised household waste to the landfill site at Calvert just before Claydon Junction, see 499234.
This photograph looking south-east shows a warning sign on the left where an overgrown footpath emerges from the hedge to cross the line. In the distance can just be seen a road bridge for the C road between Waddesdon and Shipton Lee. |
