Description

This is a railway works on the south side of Kilmarnock station, at its west end.

This was the site of the goods yard of the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway. Approach was originally from the north west at Kilmarnock Junction, the Dalry direction. This has been altered to be from the line to Barassie.

Prior to the 1990 relocation of the railway works, from Caledonia Works on the south side of West Langlands Street, the sidings formed the exchange yard with the works.

After closure in the early part of the year, the site was taken over by Brodie Engineering (also based at the Bonnyton Rail Depot across the Troon line) in 2020.
