Currock Shed (G and SWR): Carlisle Currock Wagon Maintenance Depot on a dull day in 1994. The site was formerly occupied by the G&SW locomotive shed but this was closed in the 1920s and converted to a wagon repair works. Part of (what I believe to be) the original building is visible on the left of the shot. The EWS depot was closed in 2007.

Murrayshall Siding: View over the site of Murrayshall Siding. The fenced off rectangular area is where the tramway from the Murrayshall Lime Works terminated alongside the Forth and Clyde Junction Railway. The tramway approached from the right. A short siding off the railway and the end of the tramway, reached via a headshunt, ran parallel. The tramway was later replaced by a long railway siding on a similar alignment but with eased curves.
