Scope and Content Cowlairs Works, Carlisle Street, Glasgow This works was founded in 1842 by the Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway as their Glasgow locomotive sheds and maintenance works. After the North British Railway absorbed the Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway in 1865 it developed the works as its central workshops, moving the locomotive shed to Eastfield in 1904. This shows the north front of the wagon (left), carriage and paint shops. The length of this frontage gives some idea of the scale of this part of the works, which covered a larger area than the whole of the locomotive section. In North British Railway days all the company's wagons and carriages were built and maintained here. Rolling stock construction was phased out after 1923. These shops were probably built in about 1870. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
