Site of Cronberry station View NW from A70 road: ex-Glasgow & South Western junction of lines, via Auchinleck to left from Ayr and Kilmarnock via Mauchline and from Ayr via Drongan, to Muirkirk to right. The station closed to passengers on 10/9/51, to goods on 2/3/64. The passenger service from Auchinleck ceased from 1/7/50, so all lines were probably closed after 2/3/64 [- but I am not sure - help please!]
