Scope and Content St Enoch Station, Glasgow, from south This view from the south was taken on 18 September 1961 and shows the east end of the original station, with an ex-Caledonian Railway 0-4-4 tank engine acting as a station pilot, shunting empty coaches to prepare a service train. The building behind the locomotive is an ice factory and cold store. 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 it 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.
