Scope and Content Engine shed, Glebe Street Station, Glebe Street, Glasgow Glebe Street Station was opened in 1831 by the Garnkirk & Glasgow Railway, the first railway in Scotland to be designed for steam locomotive haulage. The line was mainly intended for goods and mineral traffic, but a passenger service was also provided. This shows the carriage shed at Glebe Street from the north-west. It was probably built for the opening of the line. As can be seen, it incorporated a dwelling house on top of the space for the carriages. The roofless part on the end was probably a store. This building survived because the dwelling house remained in occupation until about 1964, presumably by a railway employee. Glebe Street was abandoned as a passenger station in 1849, but remained open for goods until c.1964. This building was eventually demolished in about 1966. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
