Shoebury: High Street level crossing
This level crossing allows trains access to and from MOD Pig's Bay. The railway line starts in the sidings to the west of Shoeburyness station, swings around the south side of the station, before crossing Shoebury High Street here. One of the uses of the MOD base is for the storage of withdrawn rolling stock prior to scrapping.
The London Tilbury and Southend Railway reached Shoeburyness in 1884 and the level crossing is already shown in the Ordnance Survey map edition of 1898.
From a Geograph aspect the railway track lines up almost exactly with the 185000 Northing grid line. The detail beyond the level crossing is in

Shoeburyness: Branch line railway to MOD Pig's Bay
The railway line starts in the sidings to the west of Shoeburyness station, swings around the south side of the station, crosses Shoebury High Street by means of a level crossing and is viewed here from the level crossing heading towards the MOD base at Pig's Bay. Judging by the shininess of the rails the track is evidently used on a regular basis. One of the uses of the MOD base is for the storage of withdrawn rolling stock prior to scrapping.
The London Tilbury and Southend Railway reached Shoeburyness in 1884 and this branch line is already shown in the Ordnance Survey map edition of 1898.
