Craighall GoodsOpened on the Port Dundas Branch (Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway).
Description
This goods and minerals depot was on the east side of Craighall Road in the Port Dundas area. It was on the north side of the City Saw Mills. In addition to several sidings, some running into the saw mills, there were a pair of goods sheds. It was the western extreme of the Port Dundas branch which also served the Pinkston Mineral Yard to the east.
By reversal from Craighall Goods the Port Dundas Distillery and its bonded warehousing, both to the south east, could be reached. In addition, the Pinkston Power Station, Port Dundas East Goods [NB] (goods and minerals) and a bitumen refinery were served.
Hard standing was laid at Craighall, the track remaining embedded in into concrete after closure.
The site is now a light industrial estate.
