The photos were taken from the B7011 road bridge.

Looking South in the direction of Carluke, there is a view of the WCML as well as the up and down loops and former goods yard and sidings.  

Looking North, there is a view of the junction where the WCML curves left to go through the western edge of Wishaw towards Motherwell, while the branch to Wishaw and Mossend curves off to the right.

The station which once existed here was located between the bridge and the junction.  Unfortunately the station closed in the 1960's but there is a local campaign to get it reopened.

In the space of 5 minutes, 1 northbound and 1 southbound working passed through.

66102 with 325006 dead in tow passed heading north with a Craigentinny - Mossend working and 43062+43014 passed heading south with the New Measurement train. Click on the photos below for larger images.
