Barassie Junction
Unidentified Class 47 diesel photographed heading north with a freight train on the newly opened (that morning) junction deviation at Barassie, Monday, 29 November, 1982, the redundant Signalbox (officially closed the day before) already being demolished and its funeral pyre emitting plenty of smoke. The old 'Down' (to Irvine) line behind the Signalbox was later lifted but the 'Up' line was retained, the Kilmarnock line running into this line (with facing connection off the re-aligned main line at the south end of Barassie station platforms), the route south onto the Troon avoiding line became the run-round loop in Barassie Yard, and the old alignment onto the Troon Loop and Troon station became the 'up' loop.
