Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Grain Crossing and the site of Grain Crossing Halt
The line across the Hoo Peninsula is single track and one of the most interesting lines in Kent. Passenger trains ran on this line from 1882 to 1961, which seems surprising now as it doesn't really serve any significant centres of population. It is still in use by regular container trains on their way via Hoo Junction to and from Thamesport on the Isle of Grain.

On the left side of the track ahead is the site of Grain Crossing Halt which was opened by the South Eastern & Chatham Railway in July 1906 and closed on 11th July 1951 during the expansion of the nearby oil terminal.

This is the view towards Thamesport.
