Auldhouseburn Junction

Auldhouseburn Junction at one time had three railways and a canal all in close proximity. This view looks across the course of the canal towards the base of the never opened junction signal box (see image 69303 for an elevated view) but before that is a retaining wall which supported and separated the Lanark Muirkirk line from the Muirkirk canal. Mature trees on the trackbed look as though they will eventually cause the retaining wall to bulge and possibly fail.
