caption_attribution_description: English: City Goods Station An uncommon sight in the City of London a derelict building. The faded sign says "City Goods Station and Bonded Stores". This was an accumulator tower for storing hydraulic power to operate wagon lifts. With the railway being on a viaduct, wagons had to be lowered to ground level to enter the goods depot. The Fenchurch St line opened in 1840 as the London &amp; Blackwall Railway. This was a cable railway using stationary engines it was known as the tuppenny rope.
context_page_description: Fenchurch Street railway station, also known as London Fenchurch Street, is a central London railway terminus in the southeastern corner of the City of London. It takes its name from its proximity to Fenchurch Street, a key thoroughfare in the City. The station and all trains are operated by c2c. Services run on lines built by the London and Blackwall Railway and the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway to destinations in east London and south Essex, including Upminster, Grays, Basildon, Southend and Shoeburyness.
  The station opened in 1841 to serve the L&BR and was rebuilt in 1854 when the LTSR, a joint venture between the L&BR and the Eastern Counties Railway, began operating. The ECR also operated trains out of Fenchurch Street to relieve congestion at its other London terminus at Bishopsgate. In 1862 the Great Eastern Railway was created by amalgamating various East Anglian railway companies and it shared the station with the LTSR until 1912, when the latter was bought by the Midland Railway.
context_section_description: A number of goods depots were established near Fenchurch Street owing to the station's proximity to the City of London. This table lists the depots connected to the line between the station and Christian Street Junction just east of Leman Street:
