Scotstoun West Goods

Opened on the Clydeside Tramway.

Description

This goods yard was very busy with steel traffic for the various nearby shipyards. It was located on the south side of the Lanarkshire and Dumbartonshire Railway with a series of dead end sidings approached from the west. This was also the west end of the Clydeside Tramway by which many works could be accessed.

Immediately by the yard were several works. To the east of the yard was Albion Motor Works, to the south Harland and Wolff Engineering Works, to the south west Blythswood Shipbuilding Yard.

Today there is no railway here.
