Clarkston (Lanark)

The old bridge carrying Towers Road, Airdrie, looking west along the trackbed in December 2008. On the other side of the bridge is the site of Clarkston (Lanarks) station (1862 - 1956), while just out of site in the distance is the then eastern terminus of the North Clyde Line at Drumgelloch. A year later the bridge was no more, removed and replaced as part of the Airdrie - Bathgate project see image 69957. A year after that, in December 2010, trains were running once again. The delayed replacement Drumgelloch station opened just beyond the bridge in March 2011.
