Ist das hier:
50.80509446044709, -0.9891551591343688
ist dort direkt an der Küstenlinie mal eine Bahn gefahren?
Ein Stück weiter nach Norden sieht man noch die Bahnschwellen, die übers Wasser führen.

Yes, what you're seeing is what used to be a steam railway line that ran between Havant and Hayling island. The railway closed down in the 1960s. replaced by a road bridge. The path is called the Hayling Billy line named after the steam train.

I used to play on the wooden railway bridge as a child, something we wouldn't have been able to do nowadays, because of health and safety rules!
