taken 11 years ago, near to Sutton, England

Belmont station
Belmont station
The station was opened by the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway on 22nd May 1865 as part of the line to Epsom Downs. The station was originally named 'California', and was only changed to 'Belmont' in 1875. The branch was originally laid as double track because of the race traffic, and was electrified on 17th June 1928. The branch was singled in 1982 and all trains use the former down platform seen here. This view looks towards Sutton.
