Old Photograph Railway Station Charing Cross Glasgow Scotland

Old photograph of a steam train in Charing Cross railway station in the centre of Glasgow, Scotland. Dating from 1886, it was originally part of the Glasgow City and District Railway, the first underground railway in Scotland. The station was built using the cut and cover method, with the original walls being visible on the open air section at the western end of the platforms. Nearby points of interest include Sauchiehall Street and the Mitchell Library, and the station, along with nearby Anderston, a stop on the Argyle Line, serves the city's financial district, making this station popular with commuters.
