Name and dates
Plann Signal Box (1887-1965)Opened on the Busbie Branch (Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway).
Description
This signal box was a little west of Crosshouse on the line to Irvine. It was on the north side of the line, just west of the siding for Plann Fireclay Works and Plann Colliery. The branch made a trailing connection to the westbound line. A second colliery line came off the branch, ran parallel to the main line for a short distance before turning south.
The box closed in 1965 when the line closed.
The trackbed is now a footpath.
