Scope and Content Kilkerran Station, South Ayrshire This station was opened in 1860 by the Maybole & Girvan Railway, largely to serve the estate of the Fergussons of Kilkerran. It was latterly the only original station belonging to that company to survive, and apart from the addition of a footbridge appeared to be largely unaltered. This view shows the signal box immediately to the north of the station, which controlled trains using the station, and also the level crossing seen here. The box, largely of wooden construction, was of a standard Glasgow & South Western Railway type. Kilkerran Station remained open until the late 1960s, despite the withdrawal of services from most of the other wayside stations on the Ayr to Girvan line at an earlier date.
