Got my bearings on this photograph now - this would have been the pub on the other side of the railway bridge from the Kiloran.Sir Roger DeLodgerley wrote:Some further images of Cumberland Street station from ground level.
Looking north east:
Anorak - is at least part of this line still in use? I was going into town today and noticed the road passes over a railway line at St Ninian's Church / The Hidden Garden. I parked the car in Coplaw Street to have a look and it seems to tie-in with the above map. I've lived in Shawlands and Cathcart for ten years and can't believe I've never noticed this before. The line heads off southwest and must join up with the Barrhead line before Nithsdale Road (the site of Strathbungo Station); I would also have thought it would be able to join up with the Neilston and Cathcart Circle lines but I seem to remember reading on here that traffic from St Enoch could not access these lines (this was given as one of the reasons for St Enoch being chosen over Central for closure). I assume this line is used for freight only but I've no idea where it goes as it heads in the northwesterly direction. Coming the opposite way from St Enoch I've followed the line (viewing it from the road) past Caledonia Road church and the viaduct disappears between Pollokshaws Road and Cathcart Road.Anorak wrote:[
Charlie, here's a map showing part of the Barrhead Line from Strathbungo to St Enoch, which ran under Victoria Road near Eglinton Toll, and then followed the line of Pollokshaws Road towards Gorbals Station.
