BR in the 1990s Kilwinning Station on 2nd May 1990
Kilwinning Station on 2nd May 1990
Continuing with my archive of video recording between the years of 1986 to 2001 this clip is of Kilwinning Station taken on 02/05/1990. Further up the line from Ayr and Barassie is the location where the line diverges from the Ayr route to Androssan, Largs and the Hunterston Coal and Energy Facility. Here on this superb warm day I witnessed several loaded coal trains roaring to and from Hunterston with class 37s at the front, also the odd class 20. I hope the video takes you back to this period with fond memories. Feel free to comment, good or bad, all comments are read and greatly appreciated,but it is not always possible to answer each individually. Sit back and enjoy this latest production remembering all those now long gone Locomotive classes and other types of traction. Many thanks for all subscriptions and all of those viewers who have kindly shown an interest in my material.
