Hamilton Palace Junction
Hamilton Palace Colliery (Douglas Park) was served by both the Caledonian and the North British via a joint line. This photograph looks south under the former Clydesdale Junction Railway of the Caledonian close to the point where the North British's Glasgow, Bothwell, Hamilton and Coatbridge Railway line from Bothwell to Coatbridge passed overhead. The distant disused bridge took a spur from the GBH&C line to the joint line. Today only the Caledonian's Uddingston to Motherwell line remains open.
