The remains of the former Victoria Park Station in the Whiteinch area of Glasgow. Part of the Lanarkshire and Dumbarton Railway, it opened in 1896. Its name was changed first to Scotstoun in 1900 and then Scotstoun East in 1952, before it closed in 1964.

The railway line ran on a raised embankment, which is now has a cycle path on it. At ground level, on Scotstoun Street is the former entrance (top left), while round the corner on Fore Street are a series of windows an another entrance (top right). On the top of the embankment, the central island platform still exists (bottom left), and on it the white-tiled stairway leading from the main entrance up to the platform is just visible through a tangle of brambles and saplings (bottom right).

There was also a signal box at the eastern end of this station, again dating from 1896, but I don't know if any trace of it remains.
