This Picture was taken 4 years before the 4-tracking of old 2-track formation West of Turnham Green station (top left) to accommodate Westward extension of Piccadilly line from Hammersmith;

Bottom right - Gunnersbury Station and East Junction before reduction to a single island platform layout;

Top of triangular railway junctions just before (white) road over-bridge is Acton Lane Junction signal box; to left of that is Chiswick Park & Acton Green station. The chord line joining the "main" line from Gunnersbury at Acton Lane Jn was closed in 1965 - it carried coal traffic from Brent Sidings to both West Kensington and High Street Kensington goods yards.

The pair of tracks heading from Acton Lane Jn towards Turnham Green, passing under the District tracks en route, were part of the L&SWR route from Kensington Addison Road (now Olympia) to Richmond, which used the former viaduct between Ravenscourt Park and Hammersmith (part of which can still be seen today) to pass alongside the Hammersmith & City line station and then under the line near the bus depot building. The route was taken out of use around the time of WW1.

Prior to the Piccadilly extension the northern pair of tracks between Turnham Green and Ravenscourt Park (Hammersmith) were disused from c 1914 with the southern pair being used by the District line (officially the Metropolitan District originally).

This area has a fascinating railway history, of which the above is only a snapshot.
