The line curving to the left swung round to the northeast and crossed the road which passed under Bridge No 2 on the level at Earlston, where there was a small goods yard, before continuing on to Blacksyke Pit and limekilns (ruins of which are now in the middle of Caprington Golf Course) and beyond. The longest surviving pits on the branch were located on sidings to the south of the branch between Caprington Junction and Earlston, the branch itself finally closed on 07 April, 1951, having gone out of use during November, 1950.</font></p><center><a href='/companies/K/Kilmarnock and Troon Railway'>Kilmarnock and Troon Railway</a></center><center><a href='/imageenlarge/photographer.php?loc=Robert Blane'>Robert Blane</a> 2011</center><br></div><div class='col-md-3'><center><a target='img' href='/img/33/637/'><img src='/__cache/thumbnails/33000/33637.jpg'></a></center><br><p class='text-justify'><a target='location' href='/locations/M/Manuel'>Manuel</a>: <font size=-1>Scene at the Boness and Kinneil terminus at Manuel on Saturday 9 April 2011 with 27001 about to return having run round its train from Boness. </font></p><center><a href='/companies/S/Slamannan and Borrowstounness Railway'>Slamannan and Borrowstounness Railway</a></center><center><a href='/imageenlarge/photographer.php?loc=John Yellowlees'>John Yellowlees</a> 2011</center><br></div><div class='col-md-3'><center><a target='img' href='/img/33/603/'><img src='/__cache/thumbnails/33000/33603.jpg'></a></center><br><p class='text-justify'><a target='location' href='/locations/R/RAF_Leuchars'>RAF Leuchars</a>: <font size=-1>Looking south west across the A919 towards Leuchars North Junction in April 2011 from the boundary with RAF Leuchars.
