Scope and Content Viaduct, Ferry Road, Glasgow This viaduct was built in about 1873 to carry the North British Railway's Stobcross Branch over the junction of Merkland Street with Beith Street. The Stobcross Branch was built to serve the new Stobcross (later Queen's) Dock, and became a passenger line in 1886. This shows the viaduct crossing the road junction at an acute angle, hence its considerable length. It is constructed of malleable-iron lattice (Town) trusses supported on cast iron Tuscan columns. The ground in the foreground has been cleared for road construction. This viaduct was demolished in the late 1970s, when a new Partick station was being constructed, the platforms of which extend over the former road junction seen here. It was replaced by a shorter but wider welded steel plate girder single-span bridge. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
