Scope and Content Hurlford Motive Power Depot, Hurlford, Ayrshire (South Ayrshire council area) This motive power depot provided steam locomotive servicing facilities for the whole of central Ayrshire, and replaced an earlier depot in the centre of Kilmarnock. It had its own railway housing, though this had gone by 1966. This view shows the interior of the wooden coaling stage, with tubs of coal ready to be tipped into the bunkers or tenders of locomotives. The tubs were filled from coal wagons on a high-level siding. Hurlford motive power depot closed in 1967, and was demolished soon after. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
