Old Photograph Railway Station Rutherglen Scotland
Old photograph of a steam train in the railway station in Rutherglen, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. The original Rutherglen station was opened on the Caledonian Railway's line to Glasgow on 1 June 1849. This station was replaced on 31 March 1879 by a new station located to the East of the original station. Services on the Glasgow Central Railway commenced on 1 November 1895. Glasgow Central Railway services were withdrawn as part of the Beeching Axe on 5 October 1964. On 6 May 1974 the West Coast Main Line was opened to electrified services which included Hamilton Circle services through the slow line island platform. This island platform was closed to passengers when the new island platform opened for Argyle Line services using the reopened Glasgow Central Railway formation on 5 November 1979. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
