If it's the one I saw of two 73 stock trains - near Osterley they
said. It looked like looking east from a bridge just east of
Osterley & Spring Grove (disused) station. If course, it all looks
the same in the snow

Yes, I think you're right. I had thought it was the other side of
Osterley station, but looking at it on Google Earth, I now realise that
the bridges don't match there. But looking east from Ridgeway Road
North, the view matches exactly if you set the altitude low enough (say
100 - 200 ft). The next bridge is Wood Lane, and there are two beyond
that(visible at any rate in the Evening Standard's full page-width
photo) which are Syon Lane and one in Wyke Green Golf Club (the course
is on both sides of the line). Are trains ever hit by golf balls there?

Never had one myself, but I have seen a few trackside.
