Campbeltown

Trains for Machrihanish ran to and from Campbeltown quayside from 1906 onwards connecting with steamers from Glasgow. The road in this picture had two tracks down the middle. Initially successful the Wee Train later struggled against road competition. It didn't reopen for the 1932 summer season and had been dismantled for scrap by 1934.
