All photographs of this location in date order.

![Smithy Lye looking east. Paisley line in foreground, the Lye sidings and the CGU beyond. Sidings have condemned 27s, shortly before this they were full of condemned DMUs following the Ayrshire electrification.<br><br>[Ewan Crawford //1987]](/images/7000/7843.jpg "Smithy Lye")

![Works at Shields Road. From left to right: Glasgow to Paisley Gilmour Street line, Smithy Lye sidings (once site of a carriage shed), connecting line, City of Glasgow Union line. Formerly off to the right were the fly-under from the CGU to the General Terminus line and the connection to the Paisley Canal line.<br><br>[Ewan Crawford 27/12/2007]](/images/17000/17680.jpg "Smithy Lye")
![The now disused Smithy Lye acted as carriage sidings for Glasgow <br>
Central. This view of 5 February is from Shields Road and looks east with the Paisley Line (left) heading for Bridge Street Junction and Glasgow Central. It is an easier location to photograph than when Brian Forbes stood here [see image 12171] although now there is less to see. For once the trackside detritus cannot be blamed on the public; perhaps the thinking is that around here there's no amenity to spoil...<br><br>[David Panton 05/02/2011]](/images/32000/32659.jpg "Smithy Lye")
![The disused sidings of Smithy Lye are to the left of the City Union <br>
line in this view east from Shields Road on 5 February. The Glasgow and Paisley line is at their other side. The overhead wire beneath the <br>
camera serves the line connecting the CU and the G&P, and the points are currently set for it.<br><br>[David Panton 05/02/2011]](/images/32000/32927.jpg "Smithy Lye")
