| Keywords: Control cabin on the Monkcastle fireclay mine railway.JPG The controller cabin on the Monkcastle fireclay mine railway incline Dalry Ayrshire Scotland <br> This was once a shelter for brick works employees who had to walk up the narrow-guage railway tracks to get to the main road where they could catch a bus The current access road and bridge are more recent additions as formerly vehicular access to the works was by a road which connected to the area near the railway station almost a mile to the north The building is open on the southerly side and originally had windows on the others which have been bricked in There is no need for a control cabin as the railway was a gravity system with the small cars connected to a cable which allowed the weight of the loaded cars to return the empty ones back up to the mine self-made - Roger Griffith 04-03-08 Rosser1954 Shelters in Scotland North Ayrshire | ||||
