Opened in 1896 as "Whiteinch" by the Lanarkshire and Dumbartonshire Railway, effectively part of the Caledonian Railway, on the line from Partick to Dumbarton, "Riverside" was added to the name in 1953. The station closed in 1964. View north west towards Scotstoun East and Dumbarton. The line was on a viaduct here parallel to South Street, with the building being above the bridge over Ferryden Street, on the right of this image. All have been swept away and replaced by housing. However the viaduct was extant beyond the station site (marked by the trees in the distance) and in use as a public footpath, when this image was taken.
