Gunnie Yard [2nd] (1967-2000)Note: text in square brackets is added for clarity and was not part of the location's name.
Opened on the Gartsherrie Ironworks and Railways (William Baird & Co).Description
This yard was an exchange yard for Gunnie Cement and used to allow trains from the Whifflet line to reverse and head east towards Airdrie.
This yard was built to the north west of the former Gunnie North Signal Box and the flyover of the approach to Gunnie Cement, (formerly a slag road of the Gartsherrie Iron Works). This line was slightly realigned.
The Gartsherrie East Junction to Sunnyside Junction portion of the former Monkland and Kirkintilloch Railway was severed at Gartsherrie.
This yard was of about five roads. In addition to the Gunnie Cement trains, trains from the Inver House Distillery branch, Airdrie station scrapyard and Bathgate Truck Plant reversed here to reach Mossend Marshalling Yard.
