Balornock Shed: Standard Class 3MT 77007 brings Motherwell's Caley 0-6-0 57278 into the yard at Balornock depot in September 1963. Sadly the 76-year old Jumbo had been withdrawn and was destined for scrapping at Arnott Young, Old Kilpatrick.

Briery Siding Halt: Briery Siding Halt was constructed for the use of staff at the nearby Bobbin Mill on the eastern outskirts of Keswick, which is now a holiday park. The platform survived long after the line closure (See image [[38890]] from 2012). More recently the trackbed cycle path has been linked through to Threlkeld and surfaced, which has created a very useful facility. Less happily the work has obliterated the old Briery Siding platform (A sort of Highways England mentality?). View towards Threlkeld in December 2021 from the bridge seen in Ken Strachan's earlier photograph.
