Old Photograph Buchanan Street Railway Station Glasgow Scotland

Old photograph of Buchanan Street Railway Station in Glasgow, Scotland. Buchanan Street Station was the least known of Glasgow's four main terminal railway stations, the other three being Central, Queen Street and St Enoch. It was to the north west of Queen St Station and served the north of Scotland. Constructed in 1849 by the Caledonian Railway Company as its main terminus for the city, the original station buildings consisted of supposedly temporary wooden structures, which lasted until the 1930s. A goods station at the site opened in 1850. Services ran primarily northbound, to Aberdeen, Perth, Perthshire and Stirling and other destinations.
