CTRL and the Old Boat Trains Route seen from the Bridge for the A20-Hythe Road.
From Left to Right: Freight Yard, Transitional tracks Eurotunnel-Network Rail (2 tracks with 25kV AC catenary and 750V DC live rail), CTRL (London-bound track only), and the Old Boat Trains Route (2 tracks, with 750V DC live rail)
Until September 2002, Continental Junction between Eurotunnel and Network Rail (ex-Railtrack) tracks was located between the transitional tracks and the forthcoming CTRL London-bound track, at a place still visible on this pic. In order to avoid any flat crossing, Continental Junction was relocated almost 1km-2/3mi further west, close to the Eastern Portal of Saltwood Tunnel.
