This view shows the old fuelling point to the left at Eastfield depot with two of the home based locomotives being serviced. 37027 and 37111. At one time this was a very busy depot servicing the locomotives for freight and passenger work that ran out of Glasgow. With the introduction of more multiple units and the freight decline less locomotives were required. You will not see a Locomotive at Glasgow Queen Street these days but when this photo was taken most services were locomotive hauled from this location. The old depot was demolished and now a more modern smaller building has replaced the original buildings. The main line out of Glasgow towards Stirling and Edinburgh can be seen behind the locomotives.
