Whiteinch Victoria Park railway station (site), Glasgow
Opened in 1897 by the North British Railway as the terminus of a short branch line from Jordanhill, this site had previously been for goods only. It closed to passengers in 1951 and completely in 1967.
View south west towards the buffers. The path is partially on the site of the platform with goods sidings having been further to the right. Little trace now remains and the site is now a public park.
