Upperton Siding
The NBR Dykehead Branch ran from Dykehead Junction between Rawyards and Whiterigg to a point north of Greengairs and had a connection to the North Monklands Branch near Greengairs. The centre section of the line has been obliterated by opencast workings, part of which has left a large man-made lake, but where the waterlogged trackbed passes near to the west side of Upperton these substantial abutments, which once carried a farm accommodation bridge, remain in situ.
