This looks like a British Westinghouse camel-back electric loco used at this time by the Metropolitan Railway on their mainline loco-hauled services. There were ten locos of this type supplemented by ten British Thomson-Houston box body locos. All were replaced by the twenty Metropolitan Vickers Bo-Bo locos in about 1923.
In this photo, the locomotive appears to be in a reversing siding. It had probably recently handed over a 'down' mainline service to a steam loco as, until 1925 when it moved out to Rickmansworth, Harrow was the loco changeover point. '
