  Watford: Former Croxley Green branch line railway This is the current end of the line! The branch to Croxley Green station from Watford High Street was opened by the London & North Western Railway in 1912 and finally succumbed in 1996, although the rails are still mainly extant back to Watford from here, just east of the Ascot Road bridge.

  ex-LNWR viaduct over Grand Union Canal This viaduct formerly carried the branch line from Watford Junction to Croxley Green. However, this line was 'temporarily' closed some years ago, and was severed by a road. Since both the terminal station at Croxley Green and the intermediate one at Watford West have both now been removed, it seems highly unlikely that the branch will ever re-open.

  Grand Union Canal: Croxley Green railway viaduct This viaduct used to carry the Croxley Green branch line over the Grand Union Canal, the River Gade, and Beggars Bush Lane, shortly before reaching its terminus station. The viaduct was built in 1912 by the London & North Western Railway. Train services were withdrawn in 1996 and the track is now cut back to 732303. This is the view in the opposite direction to Neil's 465026.
