In the Dumbuck area, between Bowling and Dumbarton, there is a considerable acreage of bonded warehouses. The straight private road passing behind some of these was once the North British Railway route from Glasgow Queen Street to Dumbarton, Helensburgh and the West Highland line. In the 1960s, however, when British Railways was electrifying the route, it was the former Caledonian Railway line westward from Dumbuck through Dumbarton East station that was "wired" and the North British line that was closed. One wonders whether the short canopied platform was served by a siding when the railway was open.
