Rolling Stock
For the opening of the line two "toast rack" carriages were supplied by Kerr Stuart, the first being a 1st/3rd composite (with the first class area enclosed) the second being all 3rd all open. Initially only one carriage was used at a time as the Kitson Locomotive was unable to draw two fully loaded carriages up the incline to Corringham station. These two carriages were added to by 1905 by a 4 wheel all 3rd carriage of LTSR origin. During the First World War three more bogie carriages of Midland Railway origin where acquired due to a further influx in staff to Thames works. Towards the end of its life the railway resorted to using two ex-LTSR four wheel carriages as noted in the Stephenson Locomotive Society visit in 1958.
