Motherwell Shed: Motherwell shed was home to several of the WD Austerity 2-10-0s and here are two on 17 March 1962, with 90761 in the centre of the photo. Being in the heart of the steel industry, it can be seen that most of the depot's allocation was freight related.

Acharn Siding: This pile of lifted sleepers is one of many in the Acharn area. This one is about half a mile east of Acharn Siding and on the north side of the line. There is something very forlorn about a long forgotten moss covered pile of lifted sleepers. Had these been timber sleepers perhaps they would have found any number of new uses locally.
