Old Photograph Railway Line Ivybank Port Glasgow Scotland

Old photograph of a steam train on the railway line at Ivybank, Port Glasgow, Glasgow, Scotland. Greenock and Ayrshire Railway Company opened a line from Glasgow St Enoch to Princes Pier in Greenock in 1869. Unlike the Glasgow, Paisley and Greenock Railway line which approached the town along the Clyde coast, this line ran inland, passing through Paisley, Johnstone, Bridge of Weir and Kilmacolm before dropping down the hill through Port Glasgow on the way to Princes Pier in the west end of Greenock. The company was absorbed by Glasgow and South Western Railway in 1872.
