Kilmarnock Railway Station

Site of the Original Railway Station This is the site of the original railway station, opened on 4th April 1843, on the completion of the first railway line from Glasgow to Kilmarnock via Paisley and Dalry. The line continued eastward over a viaduct of 23 masonry arches, curving south beyond Hurlford and terminating at Carlisle on 28th October 1850. At this time the line became part of the Glasgow and South Western Railway. The direct route from Glasgow to Kilmarnock via Barrhead and Stewarton was opened in 1873. The railway station was considerably enlarged to its present form in 1877.
