Description

This goods yard, also known as Dumbartion South Goods, was on the south side of the line curving from Dumbarton East to Dumbarton Central. It was approached from the south (the west side of Dumbarton East).

There was a two road goods shed with loading bank and sidings on either side. A headshunt, laid on a rising gradient, was to the east. This was located on the south side of the yard's approach line and Dumbarton Shed was located on its north side. The shed was approached by reversing from the goods yard.

The yard site was cleared in the early 1990s. It, and the nearby Dumbarton Shed, were redeveloped around 2004. The goods yard site is now a supermarket car park.
