Name and dates

Kilsyth Shed

Opened on the Kelvin Valley Railway.

Description

This was a small single road shed on the north side of the Kelvin Valley Railway at Kilsyth Junction. There was direct access from Kilsyth (Old) (to the east) but not from the Kilsyth and Bonnybridge Railway.

The turntable lay to the south of the shed with the junction just to its south. There was a water tank on the south side of the shed. Just to the east was the junction signal box (north side of the lines) and the railway was crossed by a footbridge.

The shed was extended (at its west end). It was a sub shed of Eastfield Shed.

Nothing remains of the shed other than a retaining wall which had supported the high ground on its north side.
