Prior to the withdrawal of the Humber ferry service in 1981 the pier was the northern end of the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Junction Railway and formed a connection with the ferry to Kingston upon Hull. The lines are still there but I don't know if they ever used to transport any of the bulk cargoes that the pier now services.
