Opened in 1866 by the Caledonian Railway on what is today the line from Glasgow to Whifflet, this station closed to passengers in 1964. View west towards Kirkwood and Glasgow. The main station building used to be to the right. When the line was reopened to passengers in 1993, Kirkwood (just visible in the distance) effectively replaced Langloan. Electrification of the line was taking place at the time this image was taken.
