Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Burnham Road, Scotstoun In the foreground is the parapet of the Caledonian Railway's Riverside line from Glasgow Central Low Level to Dumbarton, here crossing Burnham Road just west of the former Scotstoun West station, opened in 1896 and closed in 1964. In the middle distance, where Burnham Road meets Dumbarton Road and continues on as Anniesland Road towards the tower blocks at Scotstounhill, the long bridge diagonally over the crossroads was built in 1907 to take a goods branch line to Rothesay Dock, an expensive line to construct as it involved a number of other large bridges under and over roads and also under the Riverside line itself at Yoker Ferry station. It had to take an "inland" route as the land between the Riverside line and the river was fully occupied by shipyards and other engineering works. The route of the Riverside line has been obliterated by new housing development further west and the Glasgow to Loch Lomond cycleway, which follows the old railway from Partick, is deviated via the Rothesay Dock branch as far as Yoker. |
