Ballochney Railway Co (railway company: 1826-1848: North Lanarkshire, Scotland)
The
Ballochney Railway Co
, North Lanarkshire, Scotland, was created by the Ballochney Railway Act of
1826
but the line did not open until
1831
. It ran from the Monkland & Kirkintilloch Railwayat Kipps, North Lanarkshire, through Rawyards to Ballochney. The line was 3.5 miles long and ran on a gauge of 4 ft 6 inches, converting to the standard gauge in
1845
.
The line had a general working agreement with the
Monkland & Kirkintilloch Railway
, North Lanarkshire, and the
Slamannan Railway
, Falkirk, Scotland, where they each used the others' rolling stock. The three companies amalgamated in
August 1848
to form the
Monklands Railway
. This company was purchased in
1862
by the
Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway Co
which in turn was taken over by the
North British Railway Co
in
1865
