Glengarnock Iron Works
All photographs of this railway in date order.
![From Glengarnock Iron Works a line headed west to serve ironstone pits and<br>
also south to serve coal mines in the Dalry area. After passing along what<br>
is now Balgray Road and on into Loadingbank the line turned south. At this<br>
point the track bed is now a well kept farm track but the sweeping curve<br>
gives a good clue to its original use.<br><br>[Douglas Blades 05/05/2017]](/images/61000/61178.jpg "Glengarnock Iron Works")
![From Glengarnock Ironworks a line headed west to serve ironstone pits and also south to serve coal mines in the Dalry area. From the ironworks the line descended to and then crossed the B777. After crossing the river Garnock, where the abutments still serve to support a footbridge, it headed due west along what is now Balgray Road and on into Loadingbank. It pre-dated construction of the G&SWR Lochwinnoch loop line so when the G&SWR line was built it crossed the line by this bridge which as can be seen accommodated the mineral railway on the left side and the road on the right. View looks west towards Loadingbank.<br><br>[Douglas Blades 05/05/2017]](/images/61000/61185.jpg "Glengarnock Iron Works")
