Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Gilminscroft railway branch The Ordnance Survey sometimes seem slightly inconsistent in the marking of dismantled railways but this one, crossing a patch of rough ground almost opposite Auchinleck Academy is obvious to the "trained" eye even though it was closed and the track removed at least sixty years ago. The side-to-side ridges of grass indicate the placement of the wooden sleepers that supported the rails. This Glasgow & South Western Railway line branched off the Auchinleck to Muirkirk line and headed north to for just over a mile to serve four collieries at Gilminscroft, none of which survived to be nationalised in 1947. Today the railway path leads to an area of community woodland. |
