Bowling Harbour Signal Box
Location type
SidingsName and dates
Bowling Harbour Signal Box (1901-1963)Opened on the Lanarkshire and Dumbartonshire Railway.
Description
The Lanarkshire and Dumbartonshire Railway had a second lesser known swing bridge which was directly south of the main Bowling Swing Bridge. A line from Bowling Harbour Signal Box ran west to serve the east end of Bowling Basin and then cross the lower basin to reach the quaysides in Bowling Basin and Bowling Harbour. Here it connected with the sidings of the Glasgow, Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway and there was a small exchange yard.
The box was on the north side of the line.
Due to the naming of signal boxes for the sidings served (rather than their own location) the Basin Box was alongside the Harbour whereas the L&D's Bowling Harbour Signal Box was east of the Basin.
