Alloa Goods [NBR]: The roadway, Glasshouse Loan, was once the approach to Alloa Harbour and the North British's goods yard from Alloa station. The Caledonian's goods yard was off to the right. The photograph was taken to compare with Geo. C O'Hara's (photograph 148 in Scottish Urban and Rural Branch Lines).

Hawick [2nd]: Hawick totem seen at a railwayana auction in 1996. I'll make a wild guess and say that the rest of that nameplate read 'KIPLING'.

Buchanan Street: As a porter wrestled with a fully laden barrow, B1 61029 'Chamois' was ready to leave Glasgow Buchanan Street with the 11.35 service to Thornton on 2nd November 1966. Buchanan St station closed for good at the end of that week.

Glasgow Central: Glasgow Central, during the morning rush hour on a June morning in 1985, with 27020 at rest having brought in a service from either Carlisle or Girvan/Ayr. This loco was withdrawn from use the following April. The poster advertises the Open Station System by which ticket inspections only took place on trains. This saved expenditure on staff but created great potential for fare dodging until the advent of automatic ticket barriers at major stations in the 1990s.
