Scope and Content Rutherglen-Dalmuir train at Kelvin Hall Station (Partick Central Station), Glasgow, from west This view from the west was taken on 1 October 1964 and shows the east end of the station, with a train from Dalmuir to Rutherglen leaving, headed by a British Railways standard 4MT 2-6-0 locomotive. Behind the trains is part of the Scotstoun Flour Mills, and to the right part of the Regent Flour Mills. This photograph was taken just before passenger services on this line were withdrawn, on 5 October. Goods services to the associated goods depot continued for several more years, from the west. The Regent Mills were demolished in the mid-1970s. Kelvin Hall Station was originally Partick (Central) Station, on the Lanarkshire & Dumbartonshire Railway, a westerly extension of the Glasgow Central Railway from Stobcross to Dumbarton. It was renamed in 1959 in connection with a major exhibition in the nearby Kelvin Hall. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
