Barassie Junction
Barassie Junction old and new looking SSW, Monday, 29 November, 1982, the rear end of the freight hauled by 27021 & 20152 swinging round onto Troon loop towards Troon station on the original alignment, the Troon avoiding line closed Saturday, 27 November to allow the junction to be altered (signalboxes at Barassie Junction and Lochgreen Junction, at the south end of the avoiding line, officially closed, Sunday, 28 November). The new deviation, temporarily laid behind Barassie Junction Signalbox, opened that morning, hence the shine on the rails already, the track realigned onto a fair curve after the Signalbox had been removed (not particularly clear in what is a rather poor photo are the workmen up on the 'box roof - it didn't last too much longer and was gone before the end of the week).
