The line to Ayr at the Tarbolton station overbridge.

Tarbolton railway station (NGR NS440250) was a railway station about a mile and a quarter from the village of Tarbolton that it served, in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The station was part of the Ayr to Mauchline Branch of the Glasgow and South Western Railway and was the only intermediate stop on the previously double track line between Annbank and Mauchline. The line was singled in 1985 and held in reserved state before reopening with an increase in coal traffic.[1]
