Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Kilwinning Railway Station Kilwinning station is V-shaped, with two platforms, seen here following the curve of the branch to Ardrossan and Largs, and two on the main Glasgow to Ayr line to the right of the station building. Here a Class 66 diesel locomotive of the English Scottish & Welsh Railway is bringing a train of empty 100-tonne covered hopper wagons across the junction north of the platforms, heading back to Hunterston, through which deepwater port much of the coal used in Scotland is imported, for another load. The railway between Kilwinning and Ardrossan opened in 1831 for goods, and passengers were carried from 1834 in horse-drawn trains on a gauge of 4ft 6in. The gauge was standardised to 4ft 8½in in 1840, allowing connection and through trains to the rest of the national network. |
