Cardowan Colliery - steam locomotive
Image: © Chris Allen Taken: 26 Apr 1982
A retired 0-4-0 ST built in 1949 as works No. 2260 by Andrew Barclay Sons & Co Ltd, Caledonia Works, Kilmarnock. This is now cosmetically restored and on display at Dunaskin. This was seen on an official visit to the site. I returned a year or so later and 'bunked' the colliery. We were only rumbled on our way out having had a splendid time around the steam winders and boiler house.
