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  .
