caption_attribution_description: English: An ancient Midland engine on a local goods train near Chiltern Green. View northward, towards Luton, Bedford and the North; ex-Midland Main Line, St Pancras - Sheffield. The train is on the Up Slow, headed by ex-Midland 2F 0-6-0 No. 3764 - still with LMS number over two years after Nationalisation.
context_page_description: Chiltern Green railway station was built by the Midland Railway in 1868 on its extension to St. Pancras.
  The station was located in New Mill End but took its name from the small hamlet of Chiltern Green about a mile away. Adjacent to it was the GNR station of Luton Hoo also located in New Mill End. The small hamlet of New Mill End is unique in having two railway stations neither of which, after 1 December 1891, were named after the village they served. The two lines ran side by side at this point, the Midland into Luton Midland Road, the GNR from Hatfield into Luton Bute Street.
  The station closed in 1952 due to competition from Luton Hoo station, only 600 yards away. The station buildings survive to this day as a private home. The platform on the station building side partly survives but is overgrown and difficult to see when passing in a train. The other platform was removed when the line was electrified.
