Arkleston Junction

A lot was happening at Arkleston junction on 1 May 1966, as the four line section to Shields Road was being converted to two by removing the fast lines. In this view looking east, a Plassermatic tamper is consolidating the new westbound line. This date marked the end of the races between the Glasgow Central and Glasgow St Enoch trains, which could be quite exciting in steam days.
