Barassie Junction
27021 & 20152 double-heading an Ayr-bound freight off the Kilmarnock line at Barassie Junction, 29 November, 1982, its only option for onward travel being the former southbound line onto the Troon loop, seen curving away to the right behind the Signalbox. The 'box had officially closed on the day before and the Troon avoiding line closed on Saturday, 27 November, the junction modified over that weekend and re-opened (deviation behind the 'box and the original 'up' line, which became the loop) that morning, all other track out of use. The Signalbox was already being demolished, one intrepid workman up on the roof stripping slates off as the train passed.
