Glasgow Life

The Only way to Travel

I spotted this scene from a bus today, and got off to take an image.
The reason it is remotely interesting is that the sleeper carriage and the low loader truck, had stopped or broken down outside what's left of the St. Rollox, Caledonian Railway works, in the North of Glasgow.
I managed to get two shots off before it moved away.
Opened in 1856, in its heyday, these works (or the Caley, as they are known throughout Glasgow) employed over 5,000 men and stretched over 190 acres. Trains built here could be found all over the world.
Now defunct, the building behind the carriage houses part of the Glasgow Regeneration Project
