This line is one of the few remaining bits of the industrial history left in this area.

a railway company that was not included in to british railways in 1948 is probably unique, l will support this endeavour.

I visited the railway several times before the closure, in fact I managed to cycle to Corringham station to witness the last train from my home (then) in Southgate, North London. I also did some early research into the history of the Railway Company and have written several articles which were published in the Historical Model Railway Society (HMRS) Journal. Very best wishes to those concerned in the possible aquidision of the track bed at Corringham. Peter J Wilde, Mansfield, Notts.

Although I now live in Norfolk, I lived in Essex (Langdon Hills) up until last year. I have an interest in all things Kynoch so I came across your site quite by accident. If we do not save this important site now it may well be lost forever. Regards Mr John Lock

This a very worth while project with connections to many people whose past family rode on this railway to work at Coryton.

Sounds like a great idea Worked at Shell for 25 years-1966 to 1991.In early days cycled from Iron Latch to Fobbing on way back home from Shell. My Nan used railway to work at Kynochs. Walked trackbed some years ago (1990's I think) Spoke to man living off Fobbing road who used to travel the line to work-told me a few tales! Have one or two books on the railway. Best of luck.
