Possil Station Approach

The cutting is largely overgrown, and the bridge has been backfilled with earth. Looking eastwards to the station building, the road bridge (at the station building) has sandstone parapets, however the bridge closest to camera uses a traditional iron lattice, so whether this was initially double-width for road use then subsequently ignored, or the road was realigned after the station was built is unclear. Possil was a terminus for all passenger services on this line - only goods trains continued under the bridge heading east to Springburn Park (Goods) Station, Stobhill, and on to the main line junction near Hogganfield Loch.
