 Seaforth Dock is served by one rail line, the Canada Dock branch line.The Olive Mount rail chord at Edge Hill junction was re-opened early 2009 to increase the throughput of the service to Seaforth Dock, giving direct access for freight from the Port of Liverpool to the West Coast Main Line.In May 2016 it was announced that the line's final section into the dock estate would be upgraded to double track from single track to increase capacity to the port.
