Cairntable Halt railway station

Cairntable Halt railway station was a railway station serving a rural district and the miners' row of forty-eight houses[1][2] at the Cairntable Terraces, East Ayrshire, Scotland.

The station was opened as late as circa 1928 by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway on the Holehouse Junction to Rankinston line.

This basic halt opened in 1927[3] or on 24 September 1928[4] and closed on 3 April 1950.

[5][6] In 2012 the site has no remnants of the halt or trackbed and the Cairntable miners rows of forty-eight apartment houses built in 1914 no longer exist, the last inhabitant having left in 1963.

[citation needed] The trains would deliver bread for the village shop when the snows were too bad for the delivery van.
