Main Street station on the City Union line was on the left, Gorbals station on the Glasgow, Barrhead and Neilston Direct Railway line was on the right (the steps up to the site of the station can be seen behind the grey fence).

Gorbals railway station (site), Glasgow
Opened in 1877 by the Glasgow Barrhead & Kilmarnock Joint Railway, later part of both the Caledonian and Glasgow & South Western Railways, when the line from Kilmarnock to Southside station was extended northwards to a new terminus at Glasgow St. Enoch. Gorbals was the only intermediate station and was close to the old station at Southside. It was also adjacent to Main Street Station.
View south west from Lauriston Road. The platforms had been on the viaduct here, but it no longer carried a railway line when this image was taken.
