Viewed from Arkleston Road overbridge. The outer tracks are passing loops which are used by the coal trains which ply daily between Hunterston and the east coast. The disused line to Renfrew used to branch off in the right distance. There are some rarely used sidings amongst the bushes to the left (these were removed in early 2012).
