Outside the shed are a couple of class 37 locos . Motherwell at this time was mainly a depot for freight locos.The Ravenscraig steel works provided employment for several railway workers as raw products for steel making were moved to the plant. Iron ore was imporeted through Hunterston as well as coal.The nearby Mossend yard was also the largest in Scotland and many services started or terminated here.The freight locos used on all these trains were serviced here.
