This military railway ran from Cairnryan Junction, Stranraer, to a military harbour at Cairn Point. The name of the line can be abbreviated to CMR. Cairnryan was also known as Military Port number 2. For 6.25 miles from Cairnryan Junction to Cairnryan. The Cairnryan Military Port and Cairnryan Military Railway were built between 1941 and 1943 to provide extra dock space during the second world war. It was felt that this space would be needed if the Glasgow and Liverpool docks were severely bombed. Cairnryan was ‘Military Port number 2’ and Faslane was ‘Military Port number 1’. This book takes a historical look back that the railway before it’s closure in 1959.
