Scope and Content Train approaching Cathcart Station, Glasgow This shows the 7.50am arrival at Cathcart from Neilston, on 26 May 1962, running under Monreith Road, looking west. The locomotive and carriage are both of London, Midland & Scottish Railway design. Note the overhead wires for impending electrification. This photograph was taken shortly before steam suburban services on the south side of Glasgow were supplanted by electric trains. The locomotive is one of a class that dominated these services from about 1950 to the end of steam. This section of railway line is part of the Lanarkshire & Ayrshire Railway. The length from Giffen to Cathcart was opened in 1903, 15 years after the opening of the section from Barrmill to Ardrossan. By 1962 services had been cut back to Neilston.
