Lissens Goods station
Lissens Goods station or Lissens Sidings station was a railway freight facility located approximately two miles north-east of Kilwinning, North Ayrshire, Scotland. It served the industrial and agricultural requirements for transportation in the vicinity of Auchentiber and the surrounding rural area on behalf of the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway. Lissens Goods was around seven miles from the Lugton East Junction and the railway workers employed here were supervised by staff from the nearby Auchenmade Station,〔Wham, Page 191〕 the nearest passenger and goods station on the up line towards Lugton and Glasgow.
Although a remote location today the facility would have had freight transport business in the form of lime for the fields, cattle, horse and sheep movements, milk and cheese delivery, mining and quarrying related items, etc. with other sidings in the vicinity, namely Lylestone.
== Infrastructure ==
The OS maps of 1896 and 1910 show a fairly significant infrastructure for such a remote location with the double track main line and three sidings running off to a loading dock and what may have been a goods shed. A brick built 16 lever (in 1919) signal box was situated on the main line with six semaphore signal posts, two ground disc signals, a weighing machine, a cistern, a row of three workers cottages and a square outside toilet block and coal shed.〔(1896 25 inch to the mile OS Map )〕〔(1910 25 inch to the mile OS Map )〕 Nearby Lylestone siding had a two lever groundframe.
