City of Glasgow Union Railway

Introduction

The major feature of this line was Glasgow St Enoch station. This station was famous for its quality hotel. The station has been closed an completely demolished. There were two glazed roofs side-by-side here situated above the Glasgow streets. The original smaller version of the station was called Dunlop Street. The site of the station is now several car-parks and the St Enochs shopping centre.

This railway is open to freight between Shields Road and High Street. Between Bellgrove and Springburn the line is open to passenger trains. A new line (the Cowlairs Chord) has been brought into use to allow trains to run down the line from Glasgow Queen Street High Level. The line has a link to the line to Cumbernauld and trains from High Level Queen Street use this link. The section of the line between Gorbals and Larkfield is closed and uplifted.
