You've made it to RAE railway line, which linked the main Farnborough station with the RAE site by running up Elm Grove Road, cross Victoria Road and on into the RAE, and which disappeared when the line finally shut down in 1968. A small stretch on the corner where Elm Grove Road meets Union Street is all that is visible today.
An article from Railway World (June 1968 edition) about the closure of the RAE Railway is available to view.
Where to now? To the West are the former sites of the the Solartron factory, the Queens Head, the former Oaks school and Cove Pond, with Victoria Road, the Victoria Road Chapel, Kingsmead, Queensmead, Piper's Patch and the Clockhouse to the East. To the North lies Farnborough railway station joining London with the South. Pick where you want to go next from the menu on the right.
