Railway over Rainham Creek
The hump in the track ahead is for the bridge over Rainham Creek, which when the LTSR was constructed was still navigated to Rainham Wharf (necessarily near high tide), so clearance for barges was required.

Rainham Wharf
Used commercially up to 1929, it is now partly a tiny public open space (to the right). It will never be used again, as the mouth of Rainham Creek has been dammed.

Nearly a driver's eye view, Rainham
Looking towards London from the end of the platform, with the mirror for one man operation on the left. The hump in the track ahead is for the bridge over Rainham Creek, which when the railway was constructed was still navigated to Rainham Wharf (necessarily near high tide), so clearance for barges was required. Who's that person in the mirror?

Rainham Creek above the Lamson Road bridge
No longer a navigable tidal creek up to Rainham, it now has its natural mouth to the Thames built over and its outfall controlled by sluices. Most of the flow under usual conditions enters below this point from a sewage works.
