Parkhead North
West of Parkhead Jct the NB crossed Duke Street. The line was quadruple here, requiring twin bridges. The southernmost (nearest) bridge handled primarily non-passenger traffic, including that generated by the Parkhead Forge, Camlachie goods and Parkhead MPD. This bridge is now out of use, with todays traffic using the northernmost bridge, on what is now the North Clyde Line see image 67205. The NB's Parkhead station (later Parkhead North) was located just off to the right. View north towards Duke Street at its junction with Shettleston Road in April 2009, with The Forge shopping centre behind the camera. The train visible through the girders of the disused bridge is heading for Airdrie.
