The City of Glasgow Union Railway Line running from the Saint Enoch Station (closed 1966) across the City Union Bridge (the towers of which are just visible in the distance) to the Gorbals Station (closed 1928) and Cumberland Street Station (closed 1966). This line is still used to move rolling stock around Glasgow.

The now-derelict former Possil Railway Station on Balmore Road in Glasgow.

Built for the Lanarkshire and Dumbarton Railway line, it opened in 1897, and was closed in 1908. It re-opened in 1934 and was then closed for good in 1964, when the line it served was also closed.

The remains of an old railway bridge over the River Kelvin just east of the Kelvin Aquaduct in Maryhill, Glasgow.

This bridge would have originally carried the Caledonian Railway line coming from Anniesland and heading east to eventually join up with the section of line which ran under the Botanic Gardens and Kelvingrove Park on its way to the city centre.

Abandoned railway line passing under Crownpoint Road in the east end of Glasgow before disappearing under the city towards the northwest.

This line, part of the Glasgow City and District Railway, would have originally linked Bridgeton Cross Station (closed in 1979) with Gallowgate Central Station (closed in 1917) and on to High Street Station (still operational).

The rear elevation of Caledonian Mansions on Great Western Road. Built in 1897 for the Caledonian Railway Company who operated the railway line it was constructed next to.

You can still see the remains of this railway line in bottom left of this photo, including the now-sealed entrance to the tunnel leading off to the old Botanic Gardens Station.

Modern flats built on top of a viaduct for the old Glasgow Central Railway Line where it ran along side the River Kelvin. It was this line that served the now-abandoned station under the nearby Botanic Gardens.
