Cairn Valley Light Railway, Dumfriesshire
The 17.5 mile long railway between Dumfries and Moniaive was opened in March 1905, closed to passengers in May 1943 and to freight a few years later, in July 1949.
There are limited remains; at Moniaive, the station building and some remains of the goods shed are still extant (although the latter was badly damaged by fire on 19 August 2012).
