Monkland Canal and railway
The canal emerges from under the Edinburgh - Helensburgh railway. The flow is distinctive here and when the photo was taken the water was so clear that the bottom (originally 4ft.6ins) could be seen.

Towpath on the Monkland Canal near Bargeddie
National Cycle Route 75 follows the towpath to this point and then turns left to go through a housing estate and then Bargeddie. The canal stops a short distance further on. The rest of the canal to Port Dundas was converted to a culvert in the 1970s and most of it is now under the M8 motorway. Drumpellier Colliery Pits 3&4 were on the other side of the canal.

Heatheryknowe Railway
The cutting near the canal is now a swampy trackbed but it serves a purpose in being a boundary. North Lanarkshire is to the left and the city of Glasgow is to the right.

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).

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?
