Knightswood Mineral Depot
On 27th March 1964 a brake van tour of goods branches around Glasgow was organised by the SLS. J37 64623 was in charge, and is seen on the Cowdenhill branch, crossing the bridge over Fulton Street, after visiting Knightswood mineral depot. This is a picture that causes me frustration in retrospect. Despite lovely weather, I took only three shots that day, only two were half-decent, and neither showed anything much of the interesting surroundings, concentrating as they did on the locomotive. When I think now that it was the only time I had an obvious chance to get a train on the Cowdenhill branch, not to mention the Hyndland-Crow Rd connection etc etc, the missed opportunities still rankle 56 years later!
