Gartcosh
170 459 calls at Gartcosh en route from Glasgow to Falkirk Grahamston on 5 February. In the background, on the other side of the M73, is the village of Gartcosh. The traffic noise (which doesn't seem too bad to me) is presumably the reason why it was thought necessary to install 16 PA speakers. Behind the camera to the right is the brownfield site of the former steelworks which has been on the cusp of development for some years, while to the left all is rural with, on that day, a 'country smell' strong enough to stop a train.
