Locomotive graveyard at Bargeddie
Ex-Caledonian 'Jumbo' 2F 0-6-0 No. 57416 (built in the 1890s, withdrawn 8/61) is in the centre, with LMS 2P 4-4-0s behind and probably an LNER D11 4-4-0 on the left - a gruesome scene.

Locomotive being scrapped near Bargeddie
View eastward on the ex-NB Glasgow - Airdrie line just east of the former Bargeddie station on that line, where in 1961 many redundant locomotives and coaches were being disposed of. (See also my Image). A man with a cutting-torch is enjoying(?) reducing to scrap an - unidentified - LMS 2P 4-4-0. (The horrible scene reminds me of the Dissecting Room at Medical School).

'Lucy Ashton', an LNE 4-4-0, awaits her fate at the Bargeddie Scrapyard

Site of Bargeddie Station
This is the then recently electrified Helensburgh - Glasgow (Queen Street Low Level) - Coatbridge - Airdrie line, with seemingly no trace of Bargeddie station, as it was closed to passengers on 24/9/27 (but not for Goods until 6/7/64). On 4/10/93 a new Bargeddie station was opened on the Glasgow (Central) - Rutherglen - Whifflet line, as seen on the modern map at NS6963. Confusing?

Railway coach being burnt at Scrapyard near Bargeddie
In 1961 this was the site by the ex-North British line between Glasgow and Coatbridge, where much rolling-stock was being broken up for scrap. The coach appears to be an ex-NB non-corridor vehicle.
