City Union Railway seen from Shields Road
The railway network is complex here, and I could not work out what services ran here. The bridge has a high parapet to protect the pavement from the electric overhead cables. The shot was taken blind by holding the camera up.
Thanks to Thomas Nugent who has identified the line as a connecting line between services either side of Glasgow used mainly by freight. I suspect it featured in the diversions in 2017 when the tunnel into Queen Street Station was electrified.

Ex-Caledonian 2F 0-6-0 passing Shields Road, 1957
View SW, towards Paisley etc. from Shields Road bridge. Shields Road station was a fascinating spot for Train-Watchers, being Glasgow's equivalent to Clapham Junction - constant workings in many directions. The 0-6-0 (No. 57365) is a Drummond 294-class 'Jumbo' (built c. 1895, withdrawn 5/62) running up towards Glasgow Central. At the same, up above a BR Standard 5MT 4-6-0 passes towards St Enoch on empty stock.
