![GNSR 49 and NBR 256 lead the Scottish Industries Exhibition Special<br>
from Ayr to Kelvin Hall (was Partick Central) eastbound approaching Terminus Junction on the freight only lines below Shields Road. Out of sight to the left is the original Glasgow and Paisley Junction Joint Railway and its Shields Road station. The City of Glasgow Union Railway's Shields Road station is above the carriages and the Shields station on the Paisley Canal line is above the tunnel mouth and to the right. The left hand tunnel has the line from General Terminus and the splitting distant is for the curve to Muirhouse. Photographer unknown. [See image 8029] for a view in the reverse direction above the tunnel.<br><br>[Ewan Crawford Collection 11/09/1959]](/images/45000/45591.jpg "Terminus Junction")

![Looking south towards Scotland Street Junction over the approach to General Terminus not long after track lifting in 1987. The location was reached via an approach eight tracks wide. This city centre location, latterly used to import iron ore for Ravenscraig before being eclipsed by Hunterston, was dismantled in late 1986 after a long period of little use. The trackbed seen here was used as a car park and access to the Glasgow Garden Festival site in 1988. The cutting has since been filled in and redeveloped.<br><br>[Ewan Crawford //1987]](/images/57000/57099.jpg "General Terminus")
![The 66 is at Kinning Park Junction during the works to re-lay Shields Junction. There is a tamper? further along the Burma Road. As part of the works the lines here have been provided with overhead wires.<br><br>[Ewan Crawford 27/12/2007]](/images/17000/17713.jpg "Shields Road")
