Rutherglen to Coatbridge railway
At Burntbroom.
The dismantled bridge in the photo carried the Shettleston to Bothwell railway of the NBR. The contributor just about remembers steam trains running along it.
The visible bridge (No.9) beyond was a spur from the aforementioned Shettleston to Bothwell branch of the NBR that served the Barrachnie Colliery from 1913 to 1937.

Broomhouse Station (remains)
View SE, towards Hamilton; ex-North British Glasgow (Queen St. LL) - Shettleston - Bothwell - Hamilton line. This station was closed to passengers back on 24/9/27 (goods on 1/9/53), but passenger trains continued to Bothwell until 4/7/55. However, traffic of some sort was evidently still passing in 1961.
