OK, long shot this one, apologies for it being a bit left-field.
Adjacent to Stonebridge Park station is Station House aka Wembley Point. I recollect a train of sorts being in the River Brent (bear with me) between the tunnel under Station House & level with Brent library but pulling out of the river up on to the NorthCircularRoad side of the Brent. Was it something to do with construction and where did it go once in the tunnel?
The set of rails remained in the river for some time afterwards - at this point the river is concrete lined & flowed only a few inches high. Time would have been late 60s / early 70s. Does anyone remember this & more specifically, what is was doing?
