The line across the Hoo Peninsula is single track and one of the most interesting lines in Kent. Passenger trains ran on this line from 1882 to 1961, which seems surprising now as it doesn't really serve any significant centres of population. It is still in use by regular container trains on their way via Hoo Junction to and from Thamesport on the Isle of Grain. A train heading west over the level crossing can be seen at http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3603260 On the left side of the track ahead is the site of Grain Crossing Halt which was opened by the South Eastern & Chatham Railway in July 1906 and closed on 11th July 1951 during the expansion of the nearby oil terminal. See http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/g/grain_crossing_halt/ for more information on Grain Crossing Halt. This is the view towards Thamesport.

Here the A228 ends and becomes the B2001.

The B2001 crosses the railway on the way off Grain, and immediately becomes the A228, according to some maps. Others have the transition about where the camera is, at the National Grid gas terminal entrance, which makes more sense.
