Network Rail has unveiled the first of several new electricity feeder stations for Scotland's railway.

It comes as part of a £120 million programme to enhance the resilience and reliability of rail infrastructure, as well as supporting additional electrically powered passenger and freight traffic.

The first feeder station was put in place at Ferguslie at the weekend, with it set to connect to the network in September. A Tadano crane (ATF220G) was used to lift it into place, with a temporary surface constructed to position the crane on.
