Wanlockhead railway station

Elvanfoot railway station in South Lanarkshire was the junction for the branch and was located on the west coast main line.

The line had been closed and lifted before the Scottish Region of British Railways came into existence upon nationalisation in 1948.

[5] The line suffered greatly from the closure of the lead mines and passenger traffic was slight, although the station was located near to the small village of Wanlockhead.

The station had a 100 yd (91 m) passing loop,[8] a single siding served a loading bank and a goods shed.

[9] The points were worked manually by the train crews as there wasn't a signal box.
