Lugton, in the centre of the photo, was once served by two railway stations on different lines. Lugton railway station was on the Glasgow, Barrhead and Kilmarnock Joint Railway line. It opened in 1871 and closed to passengers in 1966. The Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway's short lived Lugton station opened in 1903 and closed 4 July 1932. That line ran to Ardrossan from Glasgow. The present day Glasgow to Kilmarnock line can be seen running from the loch in the distance down to the lower right corner. The disused lines to Beith and Glengarnock can be seen in the lower left corner. The disused line to Neilston can to the left tip of the big cloud.
