This was once part of the Barton & Immingham Light Railway which opened in 1911. The BILR 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 Image
