Grain
UK Railtours' excursion behind 66151 just arrived at Grain, terminus of the freight only branch from Gravesend, looking back towards the latter on 17th November 2018. This closed to passengers in December 1961; until 1951 the line had continued to Port Victoria. After this truncation, the intermediate Grain Crossing Halt was replaced by a new island platform station called simply Grain but this lasted only 10 years and was demolished. The grass between the tracks marks the site of its short-lived island platform.
