Looking over the road bridge at Epping to see the old Epping - Ongar
tracks below I wonder if they are still energised? Also there seems to
be quite a complex layout - all rusty but all rails still in situ. On
the right there is an elevated line that curves into the trees. Was
this a head-shunt. And on the left another line at a lower elevation
also seems to curve left into the trees. Was this the line to Ongar?


IIRC the line to ongar was on the right and the line going down on the
left was a siding. Why they've just blocked off all that track is anyones
guess. You'd thinking it would be useful stabling point for when the line
cocks up again if nothing else. But thats LU for you.
