It is Volk's Brighton to Rottingdean Seashore Electric railway, looking oddly like something from a Kevin Mills illustration of the Gothic Empire.
Check out the Abandoned Lines and Railways website for more abandoned railway line action. If you have ever been to the Bowlie Weekender or the All Tomorrow's Parties festival (when it was in Camber Sands), you might be interested by the Camber Station, Rye and Camber tramway, a line which once took people from Rye to Camber Sands. Apparently the railway line is now a walk way, possibly the route I took when I walked from Camber Sands to Rye last year.

I love it. Wikipedia says "Due to regulations then in place, a qualified sea captain was on board at all times, and the car was provided with lifeboats and other safety measures."
