Description

This exchange yard was to the south of the Temple Gas Works. It was served by a branch of the Glasgow Central Railway approached from Dawsholm through Dawsholm Tunnel and lined cutting from the east.

From this yard the Temple Gas Works could be reached on private lines by double reversal. Reversing from the yard the line continued in a tunnel under the Forth and Clyde Canal to the Dawsholm Gas Works. (Dawsholm-Temple Gas Works Tunnel)

The sidings were lifted in the late 1960s.
