The Romford to Upminster Line was constructed in 1893 as a branch of the London, Tilbury & Southend Railway from Upminster. This opened on 7th June 1893 at a second station in Romford which was combined with the main station at Romford in 1934. Emerson Park station was opened on 1st October 1909 as Emerson Park Halt. A video about the line can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TwuKTthbTU There is a half hourly London Overground train to either Romford and Upminster from the station.
