Looking west from the Troon Road (A759) overbridge just east of the former Thirdpart Junction at Moorfield, Kilmarnock, 10 January, 2016. Trees on the left cover the solum of the former Riccarton/Hurlford Branch, which trailed into the Troon line a few hundred yards to the west. Buildings on the skyline were formerly the Massey-Ferguson tractor plant, complete with its own siding and loading bank (siding curved north at the line of fence posts visible at the far end of the field on the right), and are now in Moorfield Industrial Estate, rail access long since removed of course.
