KIPPS LOCOMOTIVE DEPOT (65E) - This shed was located to the north side of the Kipps branch ajust north of the town of Coatbridge. It was a double ended three road shed approached from both east and west and had a modern coaling tower. It was built by the North British Railway in 1860 and closed to steam in January 1963, diesels then taking over the depot. In 1959, the allocation was 51 engines, mainly shunting tanks and small goods engines but a few larger tanks for local passenger services. In this shot from 1958, we see a Class 08 diesel shunter flanked by Class J83 0-6-0T No.68444 and Class J36 0-6-0 No.65214.
