The term "catenary" is used for overhead lines which use at least 2 wires, with the contact wire being held in tension almost parallel to the track; this picture gives a clear view of the line tensioning weights on the post closest to the camera. Southminster station was opened by the Great Eastern Railway in 1889. It is now the terminus of the Crouch Valley Line, trains go to Wickford and occasionally through to London Liverpool Street.
