Scope and Content Cowlairs Works, Carlisle Street, Glasgow This works was founded in 1842 by the Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway, for the construction and overhaul of locomotives and rolling stock, and to house their locomotives working from Glasgow. After that railway amalgamated with the North British Railway in 1865 it became the works for the new company. This shows part of the north elevation of the works, looking from the north-west. This part of the works was used as the locomotive running sheds until 1904, when new running sheds were completed at Eastfield. This works was still being used for the overhaul of steam locomotives in 1966, but closed in 1968, after the end of steam on British Railways, and was demolished in 1968-69. The site has been redeveloped as an industrial estate. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
