The military area to the east of Shoeburyness was once served by an extensive internal railway system constructed in the late C19 and early C20. The line crossed here is one of the extensions made between 1906-25 and ran across the firing ranges as far as the north shore of Havengore Island. Although the tracks still remain in situ, it would appear that they have not had any trains on them for many years.
