314205 takes the Cathcart route at Cathcart North Junction. Both the line on the left and the one to the right ultimately head left (east) for Newton. The single line on the right burrows under the Cathcart Circle. The tall building to the left of the train is Cathcart Signalbox. The train is just approaching what was the original terminus of the line, just shy of the river. View looks south.
