Name and dates

Kelvinhaugh Goods

Opened on the Stobcross Railway.

Description

This goods and minerals yard was on the north side of the Stobcross Railway. It was served from the west, from Kelvinhaugh Junction and incorporated Stobcross Shed on its southern margin, alongside the line east to Stobcross Junction, Stobcross Goods and Glasgow Queen Street Low Level.

It was very much overshadowed by the considerably larger Stobcross Goods to the east.

The yard site remained clear for many years after closure, being used as a permanent way depot as required and a large electrical substation for the railway was located here.

The site is now partly built over.
