The end of the line

This is the very end of the Glasgow to Neilston railway line. Originally the line continued past Neilston to Ardrossan, but the line beyond Neilston closed in 1962. This headshunt just southwest of the station allows trains from Glasgow to change tracks before travelling back there.
