Loop formed recently to allow engines on goods trains to change ends. This loop has been built on the route of the Kilmarnock to Crosshouse rail line which was closed and has been turned into a cycle route. The path continues in the distance from the access ramp on the left of picture.

Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway
The railway between Kilmarnock and Dalry, closed in 1966. My map, dated 2002 shows that this bit still had rails, but now it is overgrown, save for the cycle path to Irvine.

Derelict industrial building
Seen across Western Road, are the abandoned engineering offices for Post Office Telephones (now British Telecom (BT)). These offices were still in use during the late 1980's / early 1990's until centralisation meant they were no longer required.
There was a previous use for the BT building that being of company offices for Southook Potteries. This was part of Shanks (later known as Armitage Shanks). The take over of Shanks resulted in the closure of all premises in Kilmarnock and the building was taken over by Post Office Telephones.
