Default Abandoned railway loop in Wembley

Hi all,

In South Way, the place where the abandoned loop crossed the road is clearly
visible - just west of Second Way, the road seems to pass over a slightly
humped bridge, although the bridge isn't over anything. However, I was
confused by viaducts on the correct alignment either side of the road, at
road height. The most plausible explanation was that these viaducts carried
the railway, and that the bump in the road was actually a level crossing,
not a bridge. But the viaducts don't look like railway viaducts, and I can't
see why the railway would be so high up, when the remaining railway through
Wembley Stadium station is in such a deep cutting. Any clues? TIA.
