Although this rail line now terminates in about 1km it was once part of the Barton & Immingham Light Railway which opened in 1911. This linked Immingham with Hull via the Humber ferry at New Holland by joining with the Barton to Grimsby line near Goxhill. It closed in 1963 when the Humber bridge opened. The Immingham to Killingholme section is however still used for oil traffic.
