The site of the former Glasgow Cross Station on an island in the middle of Trongate in central Glasgow. Although the station closed in 1964, it still lies beneath the road, and if you keep an eye out on Argyle Line trains as they travel between Argyle Street Station and Bridgeton, you can catch a glimpse of it in the light which spills down through the modern covers erected over it.

Moss on the viaduct, which carried the now defunct Clifton, Accrington and Colne line over the Irwell into and out of Radcliffe, and which is now holds the Outwood Trail walking and cycling route.
Brick tramways at the entrance to the former stables of the Glasgow and South Western Railway on Bell Street in Glasgow. Built around 1900, the tramways allowed cartwheels to move more smoothly over the otherwise cobbled stable yard. I've come across tramways made from granite slabs elsewhere in the city, but so far these are the only brick ones I've found.

Abandoned railway bridge over the River Kelvin in Glasgow. This sort of thing always gives me post-apocalyptic survival vibes.

Na mapce zaznaczy艂em dawne (aktualnie porzucone, lub zamienione na 艣cie偶ki) torowiska kolejowe, kt贸rymi uda艂o mi si臋 po艂azi膰 w zesz艂ym roku.
Przecudowna rozrywka dla takich 艂azik贸w jak ja.
Teraz planuj臋 kolejne trasy. Siedz臋 z mapami (online) z pocz膮tk贸w XX wieku i wsp贸艂czesnym widokiem sat. 偶eby sprawdzi膰 co jeszcze pozosta艂o. Wi臋ksza cz臋艣膰 zosta艂a zamieniona na drogi, sporo te偶 zwyczajnie zaorano i tylko kontury na mapach lotniczych, albo rz臋dy drzew na linii tor贸w pokazuja, 偶e co艣 tu by艂o.
This method of getting trains up the steep incline out of Queen Street Station continued until 1908 when cable-hauling was finally replaced by banking engines. The Avon Viaduct still forms part of the mainline route between Glasgow and Edinburgh to this day, more than 160 years after it was first built.

The Avon Viaduct near Linlithgow. With over 20 arches and 404 metres in length, this viaduct was built in 1841 as part of Scotland's first intercity railway line connecting Haymarket Station in Edinburgh with Queen Street Station in Glasgow. A series of such viaducts, as well as embankments and tunnels, allowed the creation of an almost flat route between the two cities.

After this event, the tunnel was sealed and a large gravel barrier was placed in front of it to stop this happening again. In the thirty years since this flood, the gravel barrier has gradually settled to the point where it is now barely noticable and if the Kelvin were to breach the same retaining wall today, the same type of event would most likely be repeated.
