At Stepends, just east of Plains, two branches left the line. One ran east to a colliery at Moffat Hills and another, the Plains Branch, ran west to Ballochney Farm and the north of Plains. The two branches were out of line with each other and about quarter of a mile apart. This view looks east showing the site of the junction between the mainline to Bathgate and the branch to Moffat Hills (right).
