Old Photograph Railway Station Stobo Scotland

Old photograph of the railway station at Stobo, East of Biggar, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. Stobo station was opened in 1864. The Tinto Express was run by along this line from Peebles to Edinburgh to compete with the North British Railway's Peebles-shire Express which ran via Leadburn. The Caledonian route was longer and the company countered by emphasising the quality of their service. The passenger station closed in 1950.
