Coal Road, Auchinleck

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Coal Road, Auchinleck Coal Road, on the south side of Auchinleck, crosses two railway bridges, one still very much in use over the main line between Kilmarnock and Dumfries. This is the other one and once passed over the line between Auchinleck and Muirkirk. The last part of this line closed at the end of 1976 when a coal mine at Gasswater, near Cronberry, ceased production, and the track was taken up. About twenty years later it was proposed that the line be re-laid to serve planned opencast mining at Gasswater and Powharnol. However, delays followed delays and the re-opening never happened, although the opencasting went ahead, served by road. It would be more difficult to re-open the line now as this bridge has since been infilled with stones and concrete.
