Cairnryan Military Railway was constructed between November 1941 and June 1942. Included are the workshops at Innermessan (NX06SE 94.01) and an Army temporary railway (NX06SE 94.02) constructed to allow tipping to make embankments either side of the London Road bridge to proceed simultaneously.
Additional transfer siding space was built at Cairnryan Junction, where the line connected with the main line to Stranraer and the railway was fully signalled throughout, with signal boxes, workshops, engine sheds, double track in certain sections and wooden platformed stations or halts at London Road, Innermessan, Leffnoll and Cairnryan.
