December Quiz - Day 17

I think part of the picture is on the Picc, looking from North Ealing with Ealing Common in the distance.

I dunno where that is, but it ain't there - that section is Network Rail and has flatbottom rails with NR style signals........and it hasn't been re-laid for some considerable time

This one is a devil!! Interesting to note the two combined signals. Could be the central line towards West Acton from North Acton?

flats etc on the left on trackbed of freight lineto viaduct junc:

I honestly don't think it's the Central Line. (But then what do I know ;D ).

The Central Line wouldn't have what appears to be home signals, also the Central Line would have the cables running in the 4 foot. Plus I thought most of the Central when re-railed had concrete sleepers....

I've got a "feeling" Picc Line, looking at one of the Harrows.

oops --I meant looking east to white city from EAST acton !

Well now having had another look I discount the Central. I had not even considered the possibility of the lineside scenery being tampered with as the image looked quite normal as presented. On closer examination I see an 'HO' or 'J' trainstop but the signal, post and its location appear to be missing. Well I know the Picc was having its cable runs renewed from South Harrow eastwards three or four years ago so it could be the Picc because I can't see any twisted pair 2 core PVCs in the run.

In that case let me plump for a view towards Sudbury Hill looking east/south.

District lokking 2wards wWest Ken?

Am I alone in thinking the sides dont look 3D?

Well I concur that there might be some tampering going on. I think the right side of the tracks reminds me of the met somewhere NW of Harrow on the Hill... but no idea where excatly. Is the trick in making a four track section appear as two? or is the track from a different location to the sides.
ChrisM has got us right confused today...

I'm wondering if the track is somewhere on the Jubilee - looking towards Wembley Park from somewhere like Queensbury, taken from the NB platform looking south, with the platform end starter on the other road being the strange signal-shaped anomaly in the greenery by the end wall of the building (by what looks like the trainstop without a stick).

I thought about that but that piece of double track seems too straight for too long a distance to me and with no crossovers or turnouts too.
The bottom line is that it could be almost anywhere depending upon the amount of tampering with the image.

The real clue is perhaps the '00' plate nailed to the sleeper in the 6' for those who have mileage data. I am assuming that what I can see is a black '00' on a white plate but at distance and upside down it is little more than a blur.

There's no doubt that both sides are not part of the main image. If you look at the cable run on the right of the picture, it is far too close to the rails. If you look at the rails to on the left, you can see sunlight with plenty of shadows, but there is no gap in the vegetation on the left for that sunshine to come through
As to the white plate with '00' on it, unfortunately they appear in lots of places now, as they are numbering of the sleepers, rather than any specific place. Even the fact that they are '00' doesn't help, as there is a plate every 20 sleepers, but they only use '00', '20', '40', 60' and '80'!

As to where it is, my first thought was between Turnham Green and Gunnersbury, but while it looks a little like that, I'm not convinced.
BTW, it is a good one this time ;D

They could be repeaters - thinking of the approach to Hanger Lane westbound as an example........

I still have no idea though
