Scope and Content Locomotive at St Enoch Station, Glasgow This view from the south-east was taken on 18 September 1961 and shows the east end of the original station. The locomotive is an ex-London, Midland & Scottish Railway class 2P 4-4-0, in use as a station pilot. To its left is a water crane, used for replenishing the tanks of steam locomotives. St Enoch Station was built on an undercroft, used for many years as a beer store. It closed in 1966, and its train services were transferred to Central Station. After a period of use as a car park was demolished in the early 1970s. The site is now the St Enoch shopping centre. St Enoch Station was built in 1870-9 for the Glasgow & South Western Railway as a city centre terminus of its Anglo-Scottish services operated jointly with the Midland Railway. It was extended to the south in 1898-1902. A temporary terminus at Dunlop Street was opened in 1870. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
