Scope and Content Possilpark Station, Glasgow This shows the signal box at the west end of the Glasgow-bound platform. It is a typical small North British Railway box, which controlled traffic through the station, and, until the 1960s, a goods yard on the south side of the station. This station originally succumbed to competition from Glasgow's electric tramways. Because the West Highland Railway trains use the line through this station, it was simple to re-open this station and other stations, when it was decided to restart suburban services to Maryhill in the 1890s. This station is on the Glasgow, Dumbarton & Helensburgh Railway, and was probably opened when that line was completed in 1858. It probably continued in use for workmen's trains after regular passenger trains ended. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
