Stoneywood Goods (1860-1971)Opened on the Denny Branch (Scottish Central Railway).
Description
This goods yard was at the west end of the Denny Branch Extension / Stoneywood Branch, a westwards extension of the Denny Branch (Scottish Central Railway). The yard, with a goods shed and loading bank, served the immediate area and Carrongrove Paper Mills which was to the west. In early days there was an ironstone mine to the south, served by a curved siding approached from the east.
There were loops to the east at Herbertshire Colliery Pit No 2. Initially this was an ironstone mine served by a siding approached from the east.
In later years the railway was extended west to the paper mills, the new line passing round the south side of the goods yard and reaching sidings at the mill via a level crossing with the B818.
The railway and yard closed in 1971. The site is now housing (as is the site of the former Carrongrove Paper Mills closed in 2005).
