Kingshill Collieries Railway
Introduction
This narrow gauge double track cable operated railway connected Kingshill Collieries nos 1 and 3. The washery was at no 1 and was rail served from the former Wilsontown, Morningside and Coltness Railway. The track has been lifted and much of the embankment removed, but the concrete structure of the bridges remain and lengths of the cable.
