Glasgow St Enoch
All photographs of this location in date order.
![A Manson Class 336 departing St Enoch as LMS No 14217. This locomotive was built for the Glasgow and South Western Railway in 1899 as engine No 350, (later renumbered No 364/19). One of J Mansons (G&SW chief engineer at the time) Greenock Bogies, so called because it was built for the steep grades of the G&SW line to Greenock Princes Pier. Photo is undated, but likely to have been taken in the late 1920s or early 1930s as the engine was withdrawn in 1932, suffering the same fate as many G&SW engines of the period and being scrapped as non standard. Photograph taken by A C Roberts.<br><br>[Graham Morgan Collection //]](/images/17000/17390.jpg "Glasgow St Enoch")

![The original 1876 arched roof of St Enoch seen under construction from the west showing the undercroft. The second roof was added in 1901 and built to the south (right) of the original and the approach lines quadrupled through to Port Eglinton Junction. With the two routes to Paisley and the Lochwinnoch Loop this quadrupling effectively continued through to Dalry Junction. The small roofs seen beyond the station are those of Dunlop Street, the terminus of the line from 1870 until the large station was completed.<br><br>[Ewan Crawford Collection //]](/images/52000/52977.jpg "Glasgow St Enoch")

![<I>Happy Birthday... I got you a nice lump of coal...</I> This photograph, featuring Midland compound 1069 at St Enoch, thought to date from around 1936, was taken as an intended publicity shot, hence the young lady posed in the picture. However it was not used and subsequently lay in a file until rediscovered around 1972. You can also make out a Manson 0-6-0 in the background, presumably on station pilot duty.<br>
