Description

This was the junction between the Hamiltonhill Branch (Caledonian Railway) and the Lanarkshire and Dumbartonshire Railway. This was a double track junction.

Ashfield Road crosses over the former junction site. When the lines were built a road bridge was prepared over the line but it carried no road at first.

There was a signal box on the south side of the junction and a trailing crossover east of the junction. The box opened with the junction.

The box closed in 1934 and was replaced with a ground frame. The branch was singled, only the westbound line being retained.

The Hamiltonhill Branch (Caledonian Railway) ran south west from the junction in a cutting which has been filled in. The route of the line west to Possil and east over the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway remains unused and very overgrown.
