A nice little cache and dash with car parking at Glenwhilly signal box, part of the railway between Glasgow and Stranraer.
Glenwhilly used to be a functioning station as part of the Glasgow South Western Line between Glasgow and Stranraer. All the intermediate stations apart from Barrhill were closed in 1965. The passenger service is irregular (with large gaps between trains) as it operates mainly in conjunction with the Belfast ferry sailings and is constrained to some degree by the single track nature of the line (there are only three passing loops on the line south of Girvan, at Barrhill, Glenwhilly and Dunragit).
Now Glenwhilly is a signal box and passing loop. A popular location for train spotters, especially when the steam engine comes through once a year.
Parking available at the signal building, the nano cache is hidden a short walk from there. It is very small and hidden well - log only. Don't go through the gate, there is no need.
Signal building is often manned but to be honest they don't pay attention to folks outside, our dogs love to run around and play there
Congratulations to Ayrshirelass on FTF!
