View eastward on the ex-NB Glasgow - Airdrie line just east of the former Bargeddie station on that line, where in 1961 many redundant locomotives and coaches were being disposed of. (See also my Image). A man with a cutting-torch is enjoying(?) reducing to scrap an - unidentified - LMS 2P 4-4-0. (The horrible scene reminds me of the Dissecting Room at Medical School).
