Muir Street, Levenvale
As noted in Image, most of the streets in Levenvale are named after political figures. Not far ahead, on the right, is the junction with Image (Keir Hardie); beyond that, the street ends where it meets Image (George Lansbury).
See Image for another example.
The reference in the name Muir Street is less obvious, but, according to http://www.valeofleven.org.uk/scottishplacenames/Mvale_names2.html (Vale of Leven website) it commemorates Thomas Muir of Huntershill; see that link for details.

Train Approaching Balloch Railway Station
Until 1986 the service would have continued the short distance to Balloch Pier station via Balloch Central. Balloch Pier station was closed since the connecting steamer service on Loch Lomond had ceased to run in 1981. The line was cut back to Balloch Central, then in 1988 a replacement station - the current Balloch station - was built due South of the central station to avoid having to cross the main road and allow the closure of the level crossing. The original Balloch Central station building is now a Tourist Information Centre.

Path under Lomond Road
It goes from Burns Street in Levenvale (at this end) to Balloch Station; a train can be seen at the station platform. (Burns Street in Levenvale is named after Robert Burns, while Burn Street in nearby Bonhill is so called because a burn used to flow along it: Image)
The small bridge shown here takes Lomond Road over the railway line. Out of shot to the right, that road crosses the River Leven by means of a much more substantial bridge, as shown on the map, but at this time the road was closed there because of work on the bridge: Image / Image / Image
Burns Street itself is shown in Image For the railway station, see, for example, Image (in which the same bridge is seen from the other side), Image, and Image
