Unfortunately Dalzell lost its rail system a few years ago and the locos, and this track, are long gone.

At its top end towards Mossend it also used to be the main line into Motherwell, branching off across the Calder on an old wooden viaduct over The Globe and running under Merry Street where the TSB now is.
