High Speed 1 towards West Thurrock
As seen from Image This railway carries the Channel Tunnel Railway from Stratford towards Ebbsfleet (in Kent). It heads towards West Thurrock where it heads into a tunnel under the River Thames. On the left, the local railway line between Rainham and Purfleet can just be seen.

Looking down the line from Rainham station
The construction of the London, Tilbury & Southend Railway line was authorised by Parliament on 17th June 1852. The first section was opened between Forest Gate junction on the Eastern Counties Railway and Tilbury, via Barking and Grays on 13th April 1854. The London, Tilbury & Southend Railway direct line from Bow to Barking (avoiding Stratford and Forest Gate) was constructed from west to east in 1858. Rainham station opened with the line in 1854. The Channel Tunnel Rail Link passes immediately to the south of the station. The first Eurostars ran along the line on 6th November 2007 following the completion of High Speed 1 and the opening of St Pancras International. Southeastern Javelins now also use the line. This looks across the level crossing immediately to the east of the station. High Speed 1 is to the left. The line ahead is dead straight, almost to Purfleet station. The crossing is now mainly used by foot passengers accessing the up platform as the road was severed when HS1 was constructed. The road now just leads to private railway land between the C2C line and HS1.

Engineering plant on HS1 before opening
The HS1 high speed line from London to Ashford was at this time structurally complete but still being finished off before opening. The photo is taken from the footbridge at Rainham station.

New footbridge near Rainham Railway Station
As seen from the bridge/path from Rainham Marshes. These gentle slopes allow cycles and prams to cross over the highspeed line. In the background a High Speed train passes through the station heading towards Ebbfleet (in Kent).

Altered footbridge near Rainham Railway Station
As seen from the bridge/path from Rainham Marshes. The path is used by National Cycle Network 13 and the London Loop (long distance path). The footbridge leads over the High Speed Link (used by the Channel Tunnel Railway) before passing over the local railway line and Rainham Railway station.

A lot of galvanized steel (and some aluminium)
Pylons and railway catenary supports contribute most, but there is a fair amount of fencing and railing also. The near pylon is a rare case of an ordinary design at a change of direction. It is probable the slight change of direction resulted from alterations to avoid the CTRL railway works - there seems no reason why it would have been part of the original route.
