The Clydebank Post is serialising the content of the book Asbestos and Clydebank, produced by Digby Brown. ... As a young fireman on steam engines, it was Archies job to clean the firebox lining at the end of every shift. The lining was made of asbestos. Around the 1970s, an old fleet of diesel trains were being scrapped and moved from Corkerhill Depot to Kilmarnock. Drivers were advised the sets were riddled with asbestos and they had to volunteer for the job. Archie volunteered, but many drivers refused.
